Best bet is to get some marketable qualifications in addition to the hours. If you have IR(H), FI(H), IRI, CRMI, TRI and civvy type ratings you have many more strings to your bow. Unfortunately, a couple of months to go is leaving it a bit late if you havent got any of these now. If you dont have IR, your best bet with your military experience is to look at Police/ Air Ambulance operators - I'm sure you know who the main players are. There are a lot of ex-military people in that field, and they will have contacts to find out if you are a "good egg".
The job market is probably more buoyant in the Middle East if you havent considered that. A lot of operators are buying new aircraft out there at the moment.

Best of luck - I was in your position 5 yrs ago, and I was lucky enough to get straight into a police/HEMS job, which was a great way to start.
