Or start thinking outside of the box. Why aren’t you getting interviews? It’s usually one of four reasons:
1: You are ginger.
2: You have the wrong number of hours.
3: You qualified too long ago.
4: You are too old.
So let’s address those.
1: Hair dye
2: It is possible to have too many or (more often) too few hours. Some airlines are looking for a particular demographic, and lately that seems to be: 22 years old, 200 hours, <6 months out of training. Some places don’t like SEP time much. Some value Instructor time ( or they’re trying to smooth out their experience gradient). Now if you have 300 hours, you can’t say that you have 1000. But you CAN say that you have 200. I know of someone who ‘forgot’ about 1000 hours in order to get an interview.
3: Employers like trainability. They want to interview people who will likely pass the Sim. Hence the 22/200/6 thing. Younger is seen as better. Fewer Single-pilot hours = Easier to train Multi-pilot. Fresh out of school = it’s all fresh and you’re more likely to pass the sim. So if your CV says you got your MEIR 5 years ago and haven’t had a flying job since, it doesn’t fill them with hope. There’s nothing stopping you from getting an MEIR revalidation then keeping it vague on your CV saying “MEIR at XXX School on date” (Putting the date of revalidation)
4: There’s not much you can do to hide your age, so there are 3 options. (A) tell the truth. (B) Just don’t put any dates on your CV or (C) When all else has failed, tell them an age you think they want to hear. If they interview you, after changing ONLY your age then you’ll either have (i) a shot at a job or (ii) a good claim for discrimination.
Or you can get REALLY creative. I know someone who seduced a girl from HR to get his CV to the top of the pile. Events can be engineered. Accidental meetings can be arranged, pets lost and returned, gratitude earned. If you really want something you will make it happen.
Or you could just give up.
