but the main deciding factor is your attitude. Don't go up there thinking you should walk into a job over the 250 hour newbie. You will be washing planes, loading bags, helping in the hangar etc. Be prepared to do some casual work for 6 months other than flying while you wait, which shows commitment
Its a funny old game this job hunting business. Why is it that in Australia you have to do all of the above to compete for a job flying a single engine Cessna and yet it never happens overseas where 250 hour newly graduated cadets pilots walk into the right hand seat of big jets in Asia and Europe without having to go on their knees to lick boots and wash hangar floors, wash planes and pull drinks at a local bar.
