Any advice

Hi All.
I have recently been applying for flying jobs and have had no luck. I have sent out about 25 resumes in the last two and a half months and followed them up. I had a few replies saying there is nothing available.

I have about 1600tt and 550 multi command on barons doing charter remote, unfortunately all VFR although I do have my MECIR and its current and also a grade 3 instructor rating although I would rather not instruct.

I am happy to go to a regional area and I’m really enjoying flying GA and I just want to fly a piston twin or turbine single and get some IF time up.

My question is,
Am I doing something wrong? Is it a slow time in GA at the moment/no movement? Am I aiming to high? Should I just hurry up and wait by the phone a few more months while not working?

Everyone says the hardest flying job to get was your first one. That was a walk in the park compared to this.

Any constructive feedback would be appreciated.
