For starters, stop wasting your time online. Sure it is a handy research tool and may just net you a job if you are lucky. Best option is to get out there and talk to the operators. Get in the car, visit all the airports and flying clubs in the area (and out of it). And talk to those doing the job. If they dont have a position, chances are they might know somewhere that does. Volunteer to do a week or 2 work experience, even if it doesnt get you a job it looks good on the resume and can possibly net you some good references.
Couldn't agree more, worked for my son who is now a 5 Cat with an airline. Go and see people and talk to the chief engineers and
ask them for an apprenticeship. You will get knock backs, but sooner or later you will find the right person to ask. You can go from GA to airlines, my son did it. You may have to do "work experience" at more than one place, but the good thing about that is that the employer can see what he is likely to get, and more importantly, you can see if the trade is for you. Dont get me wrong, some employers will just see an opportunity for cheap labour for a few weeks, but others will take it seriously to have a good look at you in terms of interest and the all important.....
attitude.
Good luck, those of us in the industry only whinge about it some times.
