I second that, as along as you are current in flying you should be considered competitive. Make sure your resume reflects that, too.
I knew instructing wasnt for me either, I banner towed until I had 135 mins, flew checks for a few months at flight express in the Mighty 210, then got picked up at Eagle, Now im at the "evil empire" of S5/RP/CHQ and loving life!!!
Good Luck and keep looking and more importantly Keep Flying!!!!
