No Kidding! I was LUCKY to get a job at a crappy regional a couple of years ago with 1600/400...and that only happened cuz two pilots walked my stuff in and bugged the recruiter on a weekly basis.

At 700 TT, your CFI career is just getting warmed up. If you get to 2500/500 with no calls then start to be a little concerned...
