Sorry to be a dampener to your keeness but a quick perusal of the many threads here will, I think, indicate that now is not really the time to resume your pursuit of a commercial aviation career.

With qualified and current pilots hitting the market as they are furloughed / laid off or just made redundant as airlines go under there is a glut of pilots that I think will take a couple of years to absorb into the global market place.

Few, if any major airlines are recruiting at the moment and when they do it is to replace those retiring; few are recruited for expansion.

My advice to you would be keep your contacts with the aviation community and wait at least 18 months.

Good luck
