Without a license its getting increasingly hard to get into the trade, most airlines now want a Cat 'A' license as a minimum for all engineers.
The only unlicensed engineers airlines tend to hire are contractors, mainly to be cabin fitters, or to depanel aircraft on heavy checks, sometimes they do partake in actual mx work, i use actual loosely, it depends on your own definition of what 'actual' mx work is...
If you can get in as an unlicensed fitter / mechanic to get the required experience to apply for your b1.1, once you hold your b1, finding a job should be fairly easy.
Thats all i can say at the moment.
