No jobs
Whissper, there is no doubt that most of the work is now contract based. Few Companies want more than a skeleton crew of permanent staff. It is hard to be a contractor in Aviation without experience. However there are a few labour hire firms around which may be helpful. At your age you might want to go down the work experience path as well get some experience and get known. A good atttude and skills are still valued.
I have been in Aviation since I was 19 been through 5 different employers over 32 years. I am still employed in a technical role and sometimes wonder if it would be nice to be unemployed for a while. The short story being if you stick at it and you have what it takes you will make it.
