That's right, C.T.G.
You can throw all the money at it you like, but if your attitude sucks and you aren't prepared to make the effort that others are, then you'll most likely not get a run.
In the early phase of a pilot career, it is less about your technical proficiency (because it is (generally) fair to say that all newly graduated CPLs are at or about the same technical level) and more about whether you will make the effort to stand out from the competition - yes, it is a competition, just ask all the unemployed pilots hanging around Darwin, Broome, etc. Most CP are looking for someone who will value add to their organisation - that is, someone who will make their life a bit easier, not just another junior pilot full of self-entitlement. This may not be you, but understand the pool of newbies is choking with them.
One won't make the right impression by sucking up or offering to work for free, if I have to outline the specifics, one probably isn't ready...
When you get to be a CP, feel free to change the world for the better and give everyone who comes through your door, or who mails a resume, a job. Until then, try and understand the culture and if you want to succeed work with it.
More broadly, the northern GA industry is very slow at the moment, the traditional recruiting period (now) has not been anything like previous years, but that can all change in a heartbeat. Perseverance and courage is what is needed now if you want to get a start. If you don't give it a try, you cannot win.
All the best.
