FLY311
The UK is a goldmine for jobs particularly for low time pilot as a jet job is well within their reach. Flying the Dash will come second but with the turn over companies experience at that level, a perfectly achievable career option. They often tend to forget it here
Then you could fly some twin piston and companies paying decent money (for the type and size of aircraft that is) do exist.
Don't bother with France and save yourself time, headaches (French Administration) and money. Get a job instead that will allow to go on holiday or commute to and Fro France.
Good luck with you chosen move.
