I see a lot of type rated FO job openings now, but most write a requirement of at least 300 hrs total time or 300 hrs on type.
Type rating without hours on it is useless, as you said, most airlines requires 200/300/500 hrs on type.
You basically have 3 options now.
1) Find company that will offer you permanent contract with bonded type. WizzAir, Xfly, etc.
2) Find company that will offer you permanent contract with self sponsored type. Smartwings, Ryanair, etc.
3) Buy type rating with included 200/500 hrs. Eaglejet.
Personally I would stick with first 2 options, but if you are really desperate, you could try third option, it would increase your chances to get a job, but of course no guarantees and you could end wasting 50k-70k still with out a job.
