Guys,
Just because you have the ticket doesn't mean, that's it, where is my job.
I was in your position, I was told you need 1000 hours, so I went out and got the hours any way I could. I bought in to an aircraft share and built up the hours, also I saved up and went to the US for more hours.
It took blood, sweat and tears but I got there. Three years later I am on the 747-400.
Put your mind to it and you will get there. Just remember, getting the ticket is the easy part, getting the first job is the hardest part.
Good luck.
