To wait or not to wait
I am doing my IR and wondering whether to already apply for jobs. I am not after opinions on whether this or that airline might be interested (or not), but rather whether it would be too much of a distraction. My instructor believes I should be studying whenever I am not flying, to make sure I will at least 'sound' competent before the IRT. But from looking at many pprune threads, it looks like I will need that kind of focus to do well at any interview I might get (let me dream!). Also, I am thinking that I'm more likely to do well during a SIM check if I have completed my IR training.
But of course, I guess I run the risk of not getting a job simply because others applied before me...
Any (intelligent) input appreciated!
