Landing that first job in an Aviation Career

Hi there,
(this is my 1st post by the way)

I am in year 12 at school at the moment and I am looking at doing the Bachelor of Aviation and Grad Certificate of Aviation at Swinburne Uni (in melbourne).

The course will get me:

250 hours total flying time
100 hours PIC
PPL (a), CPL(a), frozen ATPL (a)
Two type ratings
An Instructor rating.

I've been looking at where to start my career after UNI, I looked at charter companies, flight schools and regional airlines and the few that replied to my e-mails required in excess of 1000 hours or so.

Could you tell me a good place to look, or how you started off or even any other advice would be great. (Preferably places in Adelaide or Melbourne)

Another quick question, are those 'cadet programs'() worth it or not?

Thanks heaps for any advice!!!!
