With the FI there is a chance of some work, without, nothing. I know of several people that took jobs in ops, front desk, fuelling, pushing aircraft around etc. that led to positioning flights here and there, which led to CPL and safety pilot work, and eventually FI. As with everything, it's a matter of timing, having a face that fits, a willingness to muck in and do whatever is required, and a personality that fits with the ethos of the organisation. You may also have to cast your net fairly wide to get a job. One approach is to find a couple of people who want to do their PPLs and bring them to a school?
Don't discount any of the bigger operators in the ops approach either.
Unless you get very lucky, (and it does happen), you are going in at the bottom of the totem pole with zero experience. The opportunities that are available to you reflect that. It's always been tough, it's just even harder in the current climate. The IR should be money in the bank somewhere down the line though.
