PP, did you have JAA CPL done as well? Or was it FAA only? Norsk (Bristow) was hiring locals with not so many hours about year or two ago. Now it went up. There's advert for CHC in the UK for basic CPL holders, with ME IR, MCC and, ehrm AW139 rating as preferred. I know it'd be long shot due to competition of all the ME IR/MCC holders.
You need to try to keep current or semi-current. I know how rusty I was after almost 3 years of no heli flying (and I did some fixed wing/gliding, but anyway). If applying for job, if that happens that you'd be asked to have quick sortie with Chief Pilot or Asst Chief of smaller company and you'd be totally out of shape, it'd not bear well.
If no copilot job with turbines, the next most likely start of career is instructing. Or are you so short of cash to do extra hours and the FI rating? I know it's not little. Good luck.
