Right now in Kunus there are about 25 Pilots out of work. Slingair have already hired for the season and Alligator will take on about 10 more by the end of the hiring.
That gives you a 40% chance of getting a job if you hang around.
They seem this year to favour guys with low time and NIL experience.
A couple of hours in a 200 series Cessna won't hurt you and make sure you have a NVFR. There are heaps of guys this year without it, only a ME-CIR and if that is not current you can't fly under the NVFR.
Realistically you have probably missed the up north boat this season, an Instructor rating will be your best bet if you want to work until next year. By then you will have to many hours for an entry level scenic job and no charter time to get on a multi engine aeroplane.
If you wait it out until next year you won't have any currency and that will bite you too.
Flying is a funny thing and the goal posts are always moving just when you think the ball is about to go in. Some guys get lucky, others slog it out for years and years.
Good Luck (and don't listen to those clowns in the flying schools about 'up north' half of them have no idea)
