Stef, Even the MEI could get you an immediate return, in making the cut for a job. Why not seek a job with only an MEI, not an instructing job, but a flying job. As you will discover it is a significant undertaking and also demonstrates a real commitment to your future employer, not to mention the knowledge and new skills and abilities you will gain. It is a bonafide CFI as any other. Anyone can get a Commercial, Instrument, Multi given enough time and money; not really the case with becoming a flight instructor. BTW, What twin would you plan on using?
Thanks for the advice! I think it will definitely add something to a resume. It might make the difference in getting a call back or not.
I'd use a Piper Seneca, I have about 240 PIC hours in it.

I'm in the same position. Banner Towing, Jump Pilot, Sky diving, where ever you get a bite go for it. I wish low time pilots could deliver pizza or something like that VFR. There needs to be a better market for low time pilots.
