Best way to spend £3k to boost job chances?

Recently been left £3k and would appreciate advice on the best way to spend it with a view to boosting my job chances. I'm 35, British, fATPL on integrated course at well known UK training outfit (graduated late 2002), current IR, MCC but only 175 hours. Have had one interview (UK regional jet operator) so at least some people see me as employable.

I see my choices as:

1. IFR time in a piston single (twin would be better of course but approx 2.5 times the cost). I feel that getting to at least 200 hours would be a psychological boost but would it be any more than that?
2. Jet sim time
3. Another MCC course for the tuition and sim time.
4. Any of the above but with some money put aside to renew my IR (which will more than likely be at my own expense again this year).

Any opinions from those in the know will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Doug.
