Hey there Mr Garrison.
How's Mr Hat? lol
In GA, the old "who you know" cliche is a major factor rather than the hours etc you have.
My advice to you mate, that has worked well for me.
When you get your CPL and a few endorsements to help (more $$ I know), ring the guy's first and tell them you're keen to fly for them. When they say "Sure join the queue", you say will do, my resume will be on your desk in a day or two. Then ring back in a couple of weeks and ask how the resume looked and you will be up to see them soon.
When you show up, get a part time job in town and learn where the pilots like to have a beer. Get to know a few and be prepared to offer your services in what ever way you can to get a small foot in the door (without being too desperate of course).
If you persist with the said above, you WILL get a job if you wait, and providing you're a good bloke. Has worked for me.
Once in the door, you will find jobs everywhere without having to look.

Safe flying
GW
