Shortage of pilots

It all depends what you have got that puts you in a position to get a job. As mentioned in one of the above threads, an ATP is good. But most companies want you to be type rated to fly bigger stuff. Like A320s, B737s and up. Few companies will offer you a tipe rating though. The far east and middle east are desperate for pilots. Some offer type ratings,but most want you to be type rated. But it also looks like the tide is slowly changing. They can't find enough drivers. So, hang in there and watch what is going on. You just might be lucky.
