I have a current multi instrument rating with 120 hours twin, PA44 (70hrs), B58 (25hrs), C-310 (5hrs), PA31 (10hrs), PN68 (10 hrs), I'm looking for a charter job, I would be happy to take a single engine charter job.

Looking good at the moment. Here's a few tips;
Try North west like Kununnurra, Karratha,Port Hedland,
even Darwin you will probably get lucky with your experience. Ever thought about Africa? from what I hear there is a lot of work there, especially in twins. I suggest you get a ticket over here and have a look around. GOOD LUCK

I'll give you the best advice possible,
(1) Get multi engine traing approval, you can hold it on a Grade 3.
(2) Do your ATPL theory, useless with out it !

Good luck in your career
