Do the Course get the Job?

Hello Everyone,

Realistically, how likely is it for somebody to do the FI course at a particular FTO and then be immediately employed as a FI by that FTO afterwards? (to give you a clue I am specifically thinking about BCFT)!

Also with a potential economic downturn in 2008 it seems to me that there may be few opportunities. Do those of you in the industry at the moment agree with this sentiment?

Although I do have a plan B, I am placing all my eggs in one basket this year doing a CPL followed by a FI(R) rating, rather then the IR, with the hope of working as an FI for at least a year on the route to gaining an IR and possibly a RHS in a turboprop.

Your thoughts would be appreciated as I am starting to panic / get cold feet.

Cheers

MFWF
