As mentioned previously you will have to be willing to move where the jobs are on offer. From personal expereince I know of a number of people with varying experience low hours to over 1000 who have recently got turbo prop jobs but only after paying for a type rating. Unfortunately not everyone will be this lucky and it is a big descision as well as a large investment to make. Their success has partly been due to a number of factors such as
1. Networking, by speaking to the airlines concerned and not just
sending a cv off.
2. their willingness to move to wherever the job has become vacent
3. The fact that they were in the right place at the right time
4. A detemination to continue despite the knock backs they received while training and job hunting.
All the best in what ever you eventually decide
