As others have alluded to on another thread, make yourself stand out with other skills you can bring to the organisation.
Be first job ready. First Aid certificate, Dangerous Goods credits, as current as you can be, drivers' licence etc. Computing skills. You name it.
Having barista training and/or restaurant sous-chef (or at least being able to cook up a far-better-than-average feed for a hungry crowd from whatever is available locally) can not only help pay the bills whilst your looking - but being able to hand the boss a good coffee first thing in the morning in the middle of absolutely nowhere will go a long way to a place in the cockpit!
