Nr that's how most get their start here in the Great White North. You go to an operator, and do whatever you can to get the job. As a low-timer, it's your attitude that will get you hired, not your skill. Since most with 100 hrs (requirement here) have similar skill levels, there needs to be something that sets you apart from the next person. That something is your attitude. The operator wants to see what kind of person you are before he sets you lose with a 1/2 million $ piece of equipment. Can you put in a long day, do you get along with others, will you complain about the smallest thing, and can you plan your activities so that the important things get done.

One of the hardest things to do, is to get your first job. Keep at it, and keep a positive attitude. Good luck to all, we were all in your shoes once upon a time.

Cheers
