When you first get you're A&P and looking for your first civilian job. You need to do whatever it takes to get hired. As soon as you start putting limits on yourself IE, Location, type of operation, work hours or type of aircraft. You are setting yourself up for failure. Until you get in the business and make some contacts.
Everyone I know did this including myself. I got out of the Air Force with an A&P and FCC with 10 years of experience. I was in Florida working helicopters. And wanted to go work helicopters in the Gulf Of Mexico. But nobody would hire me.
So I started expanding my search. Until I finally found a small avionics company that would hire me. I ended up wasting about 6 months searching for my dream job. And finally took any job.
Here is a some other aviation maintenance forums. To help give you an idea of what's going on out there. Also for jobs. This is the best online listing.
