If with companies you mean airlines flying B737/A320 and similar around the world you are right. There is almost no chance at all to get in with just a CPL. It is the state of the industry in 201X and it will probably stay that way.
But there are other types of flying where you can build experience. Look into the general aviation sector. Less glamorous but very rewarding for the pilots. Air-Taxi, glider towing, survey flights, banner towing, instructing etc.
If that's not for you:
A) Hope for a miracle
B) Change career
