In 2019 I was looking for a job with close to 4000 hours total, most of which was on a 76-seat turboprop, including a year as PIC, and in most airlines I had to apply as cadet. They mostly care only about jet time.
I'd rather find a real job and try getting in flight instruction, skydiving, glider towing or agriculture on my free time. That will help keep your ratings current, give you some fantastic experience and once the market is good again, you'll get your turbine job. I'd take it slow now though, 'cause, you know, the c-word.
