G'day all,
I have recently finished my CPL H and like many others am about to go looking for a my first job. I know that the season is in full swing at the moment (tourists and mustering) and will have virtually no chance of landing something this year. However I am one of those sick people that actually enjoy the wet season up north, so I plan on getting up there and staying there until I find work.
My questions are which operators are OPEN during the wet I have been told that most go into caretaker mode during the wet but I dont know how accurate this is.
Which endorsements are needed to get your foot in the door also do they like you to have more that the 105 ish hours that you get the licence with? I have Bell 47 and R22 at the moment, Seriously thinking about an R44 endorsement.
What are operators looking for in new employees and how can you sell yourself to the operator I have my ideas but it would be great to hear from people in the industry, My instructors were great but they really didnt have the experience of recent operations in the top end.
Lastly if you were looking for you first job again How would YOU go about it?
Thanks for reading this and your time to reply
