Number, i sympathise with your situation. I'm 38 and finished my flight training 3 years ago,did all the CV sending and ringing about in the hope of that vital break.
I was on verge of doing my own T/R when I got that all important phone call asking if i was still available,thought about it for a nano-second and now i'm flying a very well equiped T/P.
If you can hold-off and wait for that golden nugget of a job,then do so. If I (at 38 years young) can do it, then perhaps others can.
Hope this is of some use.
