This one fact to consider Elena:
NOBODY cares where you do your training and it matters little in the grand scheme. It will not get you a job because you trained with instructor 'A' or instructor 'B'. It might make you a known quantity if 'A' knows some people with a job but that is pretty unlikely.
You should be surfing for training organisations that offer you a chance to fly post training - and NOT as an instructor. Look for places where flight training is part of their income and not the entire GDP. These places will not only teach you how to fly with a view to becoming a working pilot but often have machines to be ferried and ground jobs for post training.
Forget about "my friends went here and they are really nice and always have hot coffee and donuts...." impressions and start looking for a realistic environment, 'cause believe me: everyone is friendly when you are waving 50,000 dollars around (and female...)
