Focus. Determination.

That's the 2 things I was thinking about this morning. How can I improve what I'm doing now to give me an advantage/edge over the other just-graduates that I will be applying for jobs with ?
As it happens, I talked to a (female) pilot yesterday who already has a couple of years of experience in the industry. After a couple of questions it became clear that work experience was the key.
The pilot in question used to work for a company at the Langley airport.
After giving me her name and telling me that the boss always needs a helping hand in the hangar, I headed out to the company, introduced myself (as a volunteer) and gave them my (canadian) cell phone number.
After that, the boss gave me tour of the hangar, showing me the helicopters they had sitting there, waiting to be ferry flown to their destination.
I kind of understood it would be possible for me to join the above mentioned (female) pilot as a "co-pilot" (well, more of a passenger w/ flight control priveleges) on the next ferry flight. We would drop one helicopter off and come back with another one.
Needless to say, after all this... I'm stoked (or pumped, whatever you wanna call it).
I know I might not go on that flight, but I have taken the first steps in getting my foot in the door and getting my name out there.
I can only hope I get that call to come over to the hangar this (or another) week and do some work or who knows, maybe some 'passenger/co pilot work' !

P.S: Thanks for all the Bday wishes.
