Angel Im looking to get a Piloting job in Africa or anywhere.

Hello Dears. I hope you all are doing great.

I got ICAO CPL/IR (Single Engine 200 hrs) + Flight Engineer in 2008.
I got a solid piloting knowledge and successfully I passed all airline exams (written, oral, simulator). Unfortunately because I belong to minorities I haven't been able to get a pilot job in my own country so far.
Right now I'm working in Africa as a flight following. But I'm not happy about the job at all. I love to fly.this is my dream.

My questions are:
1) Could you tell me and give me some idea about how can I get piloting job ???
(I know my CV and flying experience is not strong.)
2) Do you think is a good idea to send my CV to all air carriers???
3) Has any body got any link or list of the air carriers???
4) Could you tell me how I can get hired by some small air carrier to build a flight time???
5) Do you suggest me to convert my license from ICAO (SE) to EASA frozen ATPL ( I mean CPL/IR ME + MCC & JOC ) then apply for job in Africa ???
(as you know for working in Africa you don't need EASA/JAA).
6) What and where do you suggest for the place or school for license conversion ? I mean Europe, USA, or South Africa.?

Please if you have any idea or you know anyways, alternatives or persons to help me I will be really appreciate to let me know.
