With things being as they are you have to look for what you can realistically pull off. This may mean strapping your bag on your back and getting out into the world where the small air taxi operators who take low-time pilots are, i.e. in a part of the world where small a/c are used extensively such as the Caribbean, parts of Africa, island environments in general.

Of course there will be competition for jobs there too but less than in the very tight European market where you have to have a few thousand hours or a lot of luck.

There are jobs for low-timers out there but they won't fall in your lap.

And don't fly for free unless your employer is your wife. If you're going to get you should at least enjoy it.
