Good luck... There aren't many jobs out there for guys with less than 500TT. I have applied at over 100 places across all 50 states and I have only had a couple things *hopefully work out. Only 1 aerial survey place seems to hire lower than 500TT guys and they are just finishing the interview process for the upcoming season. Skydiving outfits are wanting guys with 700+ if not more it seems like these days. I worked as a back-up diver driver at an airfield near here and that was just for a weekend. The only other operation where I am that hires low-time diver drivers just got shut down. I currently fly traffic watch a couple mornings a week (I honestly lucked out getting into that... but a CFI buddy of mine called the owner of the company for me and so I had an in) and I'm wrapping up my CFI currently. Get your CFI, you will be amazed at the amount of doors it opens.
