All the above is true.
I'd say it is very hard to get an instructor position at present unless you already have some connection with someone in or running a school. Perhaps a close geographical location to home or the fact you did your PPL there might help your chances.
I cannot see the market improving much in the next 12 months or so. FI FIC Examiners are all FLAT out passing people and have been all summer.
Good luck,
