That elusive first job
I'm just fresh from finishing my CPL and am on the verge of splurging another $8,000 for an Instructor's Rating. However, it has been suggested to me, as it seems it has been to everyone else, that I should head up north and join the merry-go-round trying to get into charter work. Often I read in this forum that it isn't just your flying hours that attract potential employers, but other attributes that you can bring to the company; with that in mind what hope would a low-hours pilot who speaks fluent French, and a high level of Japanese and German have in getting work in the tourist charter industry ANYWHERE in Australia? Tasmania would suit me just fine too, though I don't have my ME/CIR just yet. In fact, the CFI is keen for me to do that first before I do the Instructor Rating. Dilemma, dilemma!
