No.

Simple as that. A TR - for example on a Global Express - costs probably half what your entire training up to this point has.

It will be very much a waste of time & money, because you have
a) by far not enough experience (large Bizjet F/Os usually get recruited with several thousand hours and previous corporate experience) and
b) even if you had a type rating, you'll be worthless again when the first recurrent comes up. Not a cheap thing to do out of your pocket on a Global.

Also, contrary to popular belief, the corporate operators are not exactly short on applications. It's a wild world out there - I've worked with operators who get a hundred CVs each week, 90 of them from low-time guys and gals who BEG to be allowed to fly.

A job in OPS / Dispatch would be a lot better to get to know some folks and get a foot into the door.
