Guidance needed

Hey Guys,

Currently about 3 months from finishing my cpl and MECIR in Australia. Will be looking for employment ASAP and will do just about anything to gain hours. Idealy would love to end up in the right hand seat of something with two engines under a cadetship or something similar etc? Will have about 20k in the back pocket to spend on an endorsement if need be.

Anyone in a similar boat or at a similar stage in their training with any tips on landing that first elusive job? The CEO of my flight school has a few contacts with both Australian and SE Asia airlines and is trying to organise a few of us students an opportunity for an interview, but if this fails I'm on my own, which i don't mind. Any info where someone with 200hr TT could go to build hours would be much appreciated. I often check AFAP and similar websites but most regionals are asking for a minimum of around 1500hrs, even tho i know many pilots get in with less than half these hours.

Anyway let me know guys
