What BPI said, but looking at current trends within EASA, make sure that you have visible training in the softer skills, such as teamwork and/or leadership. Although some airlines are receptive to modular training, they are finding that many candidates are failing in the final stages for these reasons, because they typically study on their own. Some may argue that their selection process is at fault, but that is the trend. In other words, budget for an MCC course.
I can put you in touch with a seriously good language instructor in Paris who will sort problem 3 out.
