How did you guys land your first pilot job after getting your license?
Did you do it all on your own, did you have a contact in the airline or did your flightschool help?

First paid flying job was instructing for the company where I got my instructor rating .
First airline job I met the flight crew manager of a local airline at the airfield where I was instructing and gave him my C.V; two days later I got a call asking if I would like to come in for an interview - it worked for me.
Some advice though network, network, know who is doing what and when and be at the right place at the right time.
Easier said than done I know - but good luck
