Well, the Canadian aviation industry is sure is on a slump...you hear many flight schools telling you the things you want to hear..but it may not be all true! Seriously think about a lot of all the sacrifices and a lot of BS making a career in flying. But if you can tough it out, you belong in the industry.
I guess the first job is the right place at the right time thing..and depending who you know makes a big help also!!
For me, a good buddy told me to do the road trip. Get a float rating too since it will expand your values a bit. I did the road trip in spring around NWOntario and Manitoba for float jobs. My first job was from a recommendation to work at a camp...and it wasn't the best, wasn't the prettiest..that's why it's called the "firs" job!! But stick it out and others will notice and people will respect you for your hardwork and dedication!! When others take notice, they might even hire you..that's how it lead to my 2nd job..and so on...
Be positive...ATTITUDE IS everything!!! No matter how tough it is, stick it out and rewards do come later when it's your turn to fly the heavies. Also, enjoy the process of stepping up the ladder!!
Email if you got Qs mate!
