you need one thing to get a job: LUCK !
all guys I know who got a job, just got lucky: right place, right time.
I got jobs and I can tell you most of the time, it took me less than 5 minutes to get the job. No need to go to 5 days interview, testing,..., jobs are where they need pilots.
I discover than more they ask, less they need pilot.
still this industry is going nowhere.To spend 2-3 years looking for a job and to finish with a little job for 6 months, is not worth the money.
Especially when they still ask for 500h on type and 3 months recency .Each time you change plane or want fly something bigger, where do you get the job? pay for another 500h line training, and if nothing after 3 months, you are considered non current!!!.
After spending all this money, how do you get your money back? this is why I say there is no future for us because economically it became impossible to make a living in this profession..
Unless you have deep pocket, you may survive a few years with little jobs and have some fun circling in the sky , but sadly the majority of pilots will have to give up.
