CH,
Depends on what you want to do and where you want to be.
Mainline heavy base big airline, Outstation, Cargo, Travelling engineer, GA, Commuter,Helicopters etc etc.
The best way to get experience is the dock. Heavy maintenance. The experience is a major requirement to get any, especially an initial, licence.
It may be an idea to specialise in one aircraft first. If airline is your goal then try and get A320, B737NG, B777 or the like.
With a B2 on one of these you are employable for at least 10 or 15 years.
Your airforce technical knowledge will count, however your shoeshine may not even be noticed. Respond accordingly.
