Default Advice

Like RickAir7777 said. My advice is to hold off on getting any CFI training unless you can be somewhat assured of getting a job where you are being trained. It has been my experience that most places prefer to hire their own.

If you are the stranger who is walking off the street it is difficult to get hired especially during hard times. In the last few years companies were loosing CFI's left and right now however it will be difficult.

I graduated right into a recession. Most of the guys from my graduating calss never even got their first flying job. The CFI training is your ticket into the door. Do not waste it at someplace that will not offer to hire you once you are done.
