The jobs are out to be had.
I was at the time.....
fATPL ME/IR MCC FI 300hrs when i got a job.
I would have taken anything but got lucky and now on A321, it is just a case of getting your cv out as much as you can.
One of the things i was told by the recruiters was that they like to see progression not stagnation.
So don't wait, get out and do anything, even if it is only for a few months, just do it. Don't just do the minimum amount of hours to keep the licence, find a club that needs aircraft ferried to maintenance if funds are short.
Anything you can do to make your cv stand out helps.
