Arrow Becoming a Pilot in Europe

Okay I'm wondering what is the best route for a low hour pilot to take in Europe? Obviously he/she isn't experienced enough to apply for positions with major airlines....so what options does the low hour pilot have in Europe? Is flight instructing an option? If it is, how difficult is it to complete the required courses and find steady work?

Also, if a pilot has his/her CPL but its an American license, is he/she even qualified to apply for pilot positions in Europe? Woluld he/she first have to convert their licence to even be qualified?

What would your advice be to an aspiring pilot who's submitted hundreds of resumes for job postings he has no qualifications for?
