Thumbs up Just how do you find work with a bare CPl H in Australia

Hi, I have just gained my CPL H and am now looking for that first elusive position. I know people say go north but north is a big area in this country.
Can anyone tell me what operators are looking for in a new employee?
Where up north are the places that will hire new pilots?
Any hints or tips?
What are the best machines to be endorsed on?
Do people mind you phoning them or are they pestered by hundreds of phone calls everyday?
Any idea of how many new pilots are doing the rounds trying to find that first opening?
I have a cattle background and would like to get into aerial mustering but it seems like they have lines of pilots queing up to wait for a place.
I posted this cause i have no idea about your industry but really want to learn the ropes and prepare myself for my trip back up the top end, any help suggestions, advice or just having a laugh at my expense is welcome.
Thanks in advance
