Hey everyone, I’m happy to be a part of this community! I have been job hunting for the past month looking for either a low-time pilot position or CFI position. I am looking towards getting my CFII and MEI (also looking for programs for those). I have applied to many companies and schools in which I have not heard back from or gotten told to comeback with CFII. Does anyone have any tips, ideas, or knowledge that could aid my hunt? I am currently located around Savannah, GA but I am 100% willing to relocate. Thank you for any knowledge you share!
