I was fortunate enough to walk straight into a co-pilot job as soon as I got my CHL, but only because I did a turbine endorsement, NVFR and IREX as part of my flight training course. My first employer paid for my S76 and B412 endorsement and instrument rating, and I was paid the Award salary plus allowances from day one. Very lucky I had a tick in all those boxes as when jobs come up there can be very little lead time to fill the position. Highly recommend anyone else contemplating the CHL do the same as it worked for me, and it's worked for many others I know as well.
