If you're still in the city - get a taxi licence and drive a few months as a taxi driver. Touting for business and dealing with runners is the bush pilot experience you need. Seriously - if you're based in a community, then you end up walking through the town looking for business - and that business can sudenly scatter on arrival if you're not careful and prepared.
Ask if you can do a week's work experience in your flying club/school's maintenace hangar. Just being able to remove, sand blast and re-gap the plugs, change the oil and change a tyre will be enough to put on your resume to make it stand out a bit.
