Lookin' for work! WILL RELOCATE!

I know what you mean, but was it really necessary for numerous people to chime in saying the same thing? I think one would have been sufficient. Besides, he wasn't asking how realistic you thought his chances were. He was wanting people who knew about low time jobs to respond. If no one responded, he would get the message. If you are wanting to help by offering "mentoring" don't you think your time would be better spent mentoring someone who actually asked for advise about his odds of landing a job with those times? He never asked for input about that.

Unsolicited advice/trying to burst his bubble... call it what you want but that's how all those posts seemed to me.

The funny thing is that people with these kind of times claim to land jobs left and right. I mean 247 hours lands a job with IBC? Someone is either full of #### or has contacts that go beyond JC
I'd recommend to OP again to keep smiling, and ignore the insults that come with the new American way of mentoring.

Think you're ready to go solo in a light twin or turbine single with your experience level, do ya?

Points for ambition, I guess.

If you don't have anything worth saying then don't type it.
The guy asked a question-you have nothing to offer besides the same negative, pointless feedback.
Light twins and turbine singles are pretty easy. I hope the kid finds what he wants.

Instruct, build the TT and everything will fall into place. Patience young grasshopper.
Get a subscription to Climbto350, too. Every job I've gotten came from that website. Lots of people don't like it, but I think it's the best one out there.

I like your ambition. If you really don't mind moving anywhere then I suggest Salmon Air in Salmon Idaho. It's beutiful flying in the central mountains of Idaho. I think your ambition would be well received there but they only want hard workers. Expect to wash the planes when you are not flying, fueling other planes that visit the FBO etc. It's a family shop and you will work long days and not necessarily log too many hours because the flights are very short. They have some twins that you could transition into eventually but you will start/at least for a year flying singles. Cessna 206's. mostly. Also be prepared to be part packing specialist. What I mean is that you spend a whole lot of time taking seats in and out of c206's and figuring out how to pack all sorts of random ice chests, rubber rafts, oars, all kinds of stuff. It's definitely great experience for the summer but I would suggest that you CFI until the summer, then go out there for a few months, and then go back to CFI. You won't want to spend more than a few months in that little town.
The town only has 3000 people so don't plan on meeting anyone your age out there.
I think you have to enjoy the journey of flying as a career. Flying is a passion and not a race. It's nearly impossible to cut corners. I went to flight school with a ton of guys that thought they could somehow do it faster than the next guy. Everyone seemed to go down different paths but ultimately end up spending about the same amount of time in the end to get to the job they want. And then of course very few pilots ever have the job they want. It's always about the next job. But in a way I think that's good because it always gives us something to look forward to. Good luck man.

I haven't seen squat for sub-1000-hr pilots on there, except for CFIs. It's mostly for jet operators, especially international, from what I've seen. I'll be cancelling my subscription there in a week or so.

For low-timers, JC's a better job board, truth be told.
