I have same hours like you, same licenses.
I have looked fore 12 months, wrote hundred of email, contacted people,I have many references, call my friends who are pilots after they filed bankrupt and sold their house for their ex-wife, their kids are in the streets in RO beging for money.

My conclusion is : you have to be damn lucky to find a job as a pilot.
With no type rating, your chance to get a job are close of 0.0001%, with a type rating:0.01%, with 300h on type:0.1% after 30 years old, your chance go back to 0.0000001%

Do not give up, You will meet many students here with no job, who will tell you: go ahead, their is a pilot shortage.

Good luck!
