Weasel,
A few of the guys I know in the UK BizJet business very much got in through personal contacts, either friends of friends putting in a word, or through people who had come through the wannabee system with them and passed on recommendations to the company bosses.
I think you will find that there is never the same pattern each week for bizjets since they have to go where and when the business demands. For ad hoc charters this could be a very long haul to the USA, then straight back to Europe for the next job to the Middle East, and at the hours of the day which the customer wants which might be pretty unsociable. For company aircraft then it's at the whim of those who use it. The "boss" may decide to nip somewhere for lunch and will then expect you to be ready to go at a moment's notice from there to wherever. Meanwhile in all this, you'll be expected to sort out all the paperwork in a flash, get ATC slots organised, refuelling, catering, etc, etc, and not cause your employer to be sitting around wasting his valuable time.
Perks are variable but good hotels, lots of interesting experiences (flying and otherwise :)), free Grand Prix tickets, and a life which is too busy to be dull have all been quoted to me.
In short then, it's hard work and not half as glamorous as you might think, but gives good experience and helps build up your jet time for that job where the grass is greener.
If you've any specific queries then let me know and I can ask around.
