If you want to improve your chances of getting a job then spend the time/money/effort on getting some other skill or qualification which will look good on your c.v.

If you can speak fluent German/Spanish/French, as an example, then you are going to stand out from the crowd with all their other c.v.s. With companies expanding their operations to other parts of the world you might look quite attractive to them.

I have only picked languages as an example. With a bit of creative thinking I am sure you could think of some more examples. Just ask yourself the question, if you were an employer with XYZ company what would make you consider pilot x for an interview against pilot y given the same sort of flying background and experience.
