I think it's just a matter of getting off your chuff and hunting around the country for a job. However the more quals you've got the easyier it will be, get a C-Cat then go hunting because with out it feeding yourself is going to be hard.
Don't be affraid to look into aviation related jobs (airways, tower and flight data work) this work pays bloody good money for what you do. It also looks good in a c.v. if anybody wants to know more private mail me, I would be happy to send you in the wright direction.
Remember most operators will give the job to the guy/girl who showed up last @ their door bugging them for a job.
Good Luck to all looking for work
