Instructor rating or not.....

Hi guys,

I'm chasing some advice from someone other than a CFI at a flying school. I'm approaching the end of my CPL studies in Sydney Australia and am torn between going off and finding some scraps of experience (single VFR) someone post study, and perhaps throwing a twin endorsement on top as I go, or heading straight into an Instructors rating and building the logbook that way. I'm told the insurance that charter ops have precludes a low time pilot like myself acting as PIC. Anyone know anything more about that.

My natural instinct is not to become an Instructor but given the current need for them is quite high, and more likely to be a job I can do without relocating to the middle of nowhere, it has its merits.

All and any thoughts would be really appreciated.

Cheers
