As soon as I had my MCC completed and signed I started to look.
Basically I used PPJN as a guide and blasted the CV's to anyone who had an email address. I also contacted gliding and flying clubs to see if I could do anything that involved flying/ground instruction or the like. Aerial photography companies were the most helpful but still didn't provide any flying.
In the end I got an email from my FTO saying that x airlines had contacted them to open the recruitment. The job offer came from the subsequent interview and sim check.
Good luck
Nick
