What would you do to get a flying job
I am think about working at my locale airport just to get talking to people who will get me a job as a pilot. What do you think would be the better job to do? I am think about working as in dispatch or check in as I am speaking good english. I would like to be a steward on a plane but noone is looking at all. Any people think of better jobs to look for? I am not going to do any funny things to get a job.
I think any job that shows
I think any job that shows your dedication to your goal of becoming a pilot will look good on your CV. If you can get a job as cabin crew that will stand in good stead as it will expose you to the operation. I know of plenty of pilots who started in the cabin.
I would avoid all 'funny things' although I have no idea what funny things you are talking about.

I tried to get a job as a baggage handler after my flight training but I failed the interview. I think they may have thought I wouldn't fit in and I may undermine the supervisor. I eventually got a job at a small airfield pumping fuel and working as a fireman. That lead on to some FI work and then that lead onto more FI and then....
So, to answer you question yes, anything within aviation is good news.
A job in aviation is not
A job in aviation is not always possible, however, due to lack of money or lack of any real job opportunities.
It is still beneficial to take up other, non airline related, employment that will be of a benefit to a career as a pilot. Modern pilots have to be more aware of the business side of the industry and therefore any team working or management experience may be useful in an interview and on into a flying career.
This doesn't however take away from the fact that it is potentially very worthwhile to spend time at your local airfield in your spare time.
