If you have a moment and would care to do so, please share what your first 250-300 TT job was and maybe a short story. I have no clue if this is the correct area to post such a thread, but I think it could be beneficial to those of us who are trying to land the first career starter. It appears the grey area from 250 - 500 hours is the biggest of challenges in a pilot's career. However, I could be completely mistaken. Thanks again for all of the ideas and information posted!

I worked at the Van Nuys airport as a Line Service Technician as I was in flight school. I networked like crazy since being a CFI wasn't at the top of my list. Fortunately, I was able to secure an aerial imagery job with less than 300TT. Going to start soon. Look forward to the adventures and skills I'll encounter to become a better pilot.
