How did you get your first aviation job?

Hi all,

I'm a newbie looking for my first job as a pilot, and after spending lots of hours reading threads, I think I had enough of the P2F is bad, don't go to Africa, don't apply to that, this is a nightmare, etc.

I just want the FACT, not the opinion, this is what I would like from this thread, I hope to get enough answers to be able to do some kind of statistic work where the newbies can see the best way to start.

As I presume most of the people in this sub-forum are jobless (I don't know if this fits better somewhere else), it'd be good also if you can tell how your friends, acquaintances, instructors, etc, made it.

(I don't know if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything with the search function, if it has, I'm sorry)

Thank you all for your help

------------

I'll begin with my own experience:

- Of course, I don't have a job (Hope to find one soon )
- I know of 8 FI that found the Job in the same school they studied and where they did the FI course. Out of this 8, one after 4000TT found a job in central america after he applied through the company website (no P2F), and another one after 2500TT was selected in the RYR assessment (P2F job). The rest still work as FI
- I also know a guy with 250TT that was selected the last september by RYR (P2F job)
