I second ************. I have a couple of friends who have found CFI and 135 cargo jobs through that site.
I've got about 450 hours, CFII, and, like you, i am always looking for opportunities. Good luck!

Sorry about the asterisks. It seems that apf frowns upon using US pilot dot com in posts.

US Pilot dot com (I tried to link it but it wouldn't work), you have to register but its free and jobs are added every couple days. Be careful though, as some are reused from a while ago and the actual job is long gone.
and
Pilot Job Update, this one is completely anonymous and no registration is required. It was developed and maintained by UND grad (I know... the enemy
). Because a real person adds the jobs, you won't find any duplicates from old jobs. Another cool thing is that you can "like" it on facebook and you will see new job postings on your home page.
Good luck in your search!

I like uspilot dot com. It's great actually but they rarely have instructor positions.
Pilot Job Update...I've never heard of it. Thank you. Discovering things like that is the whole spirit behind posting this thread. Cool!

The university I graduated from doesn't have open positions. I will relocate ANYWHERE for the right job. I will not relocate right now for just any job. What would you do? I opened a profile on findapilot.com and I am willing to pay for pilot profiles on other sites, but I am having a hard time deciphering what are good jobs and what are scams as well as discriminating between pilot job boards that are worthy of my dollars or just BS. Opinions? Success stories? What would you do?
Stay away from airployment or pilotjetjobs as they are scams! US Pilot is free but the jobs are already filled by the time they are re-posted from the pay for sites and kind of a waste of time.

Hello low-timers,
To celebrate my 100th post, I thought I would try posting on a different thread than usual.
Something I did to get multi-time when it was sparse, was go to all the airports within driving distance and put my CFI business card in the window of all planes that I would like to fly and offered to pay for gas to let me fly with them. I got lots of offers, sometimes I they didn't let me pay, sometimes we split it. I got a lot of time this way.

If i got a call from a regional tomorrow and they said heres a job FO on a regional jet and you will make 17.5K a year and I say I am sorry but that isn't enough. they aren't going to say oh well our mistake the number is really 25K a year...no they are going to say ok and offer it to the guy they interviewed afterwards.
I wasn't about to subscribe to the notion that I'll get paid not even in one year what I invested in my 'education'. Same thing has to happen in this industry. It starts with you, especially considering you don't have anyone depending on you like you said.

For those CFI's looking... just saw an ad from these on the orange website looking for CFI's and saying they fly 100 hours per month:
Flight Schools Texas Aviation Schools Flight Texas Flight School - U.S. Flight Academy - Catch Air!
Good luck gang.
