As a newbie to this contract stuff i tried for some advice, and ended up been told that i was whinning --before i offer any "suggestions" let me say that on this site there are some seriously "stressed out hyper" individuals lol,
(1) you need to sell yourself i.e. get your resume listed on as many sites as you can afford, like -climbto350, -pilots4rent(susanne anderson)-flight crews unlimited,-corporate jets-avcrews, etc, with the kind of hrs you have jobs will become available, THE most important thing is to get a "foot in the door" and trust me that is not so easy. at first if you get6-8 days work a month you`ll be doing good, and as m.s. Anderson says DO NOT accept jobs for little or no pay as it makes things harder for everybody,
