Getting first instructing gig

All,

Very keen to hear hints/tips on this. I'm considering doing my CPL and then FI rating this summer and hopefully commencing work as an FI thereafter. Ideally I'd like to work in the London area but will relocate if necessary.

I presume the most obvious route to a job is impressing on the FI course and being taken on by the school you trained at.

My concern is, knowing how the flight training industry works, is there some risk that a school will tell you what you want to hear only to find no job forthcoming once you've coughed up your £8k!

Any thoughts/views from current FIs would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

T.
