Remember, everyone was at one point a freshly minted proud owner of a brand new cpl/ir.
Don’t be too down beat, the sad reality is that there is no god given right to walk into a jet job, despite what flight schools tell you. The reality is, many never make it.
Try instructing, bush flying, glider towing, buy a share in something different. All the above will make you a better pilot and will make you contacts in the industry.
Many people in 2008 took years to find work, some gave up. Unfortunately we are at the bottom of the cycle now.
But with being at the bottom, it means things are getting better. There are very positive signs of hiring,do the above, stay current and learn new skills, be different to the other 200hr applicants.
Also, the other killer mistake I have seen many make, is not cracking on with plan b. Get started now on not only trying to get an aviation job, but get a second backup career.
What if it takes you 5 years to get into a cockpit, better to have 5 years of decent earnings than 5 years doing menial jobs in the hope of getting into a cockpit. Start asap with plan b.
House prices wait for no one, if you do menial jobs whilst waiting, the way wages are in aviation you will have another 5-8 years on rubbish wages, so before you know it, 8-10 years have passed and you still do not own a home etc, so get a plan b now.
