I am yet another CPL holder (200h +) looking for full or part time employment as a pilot. I am interested in working overseas (outside Australia) although I have no idea how to go about finding jobs overseas or whether or not the job prospects are any better. If anyone is able to help me with any information about job prospects overseas or how to go about finding these jobs it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

The UK is pretty difficult. For starters there are a lot of 200 hour guys looking for work here too (not to mention more experienced ones). If you don't have a British passport or Right of Abode then you can pretty well forget emigrating here. Also, the sheer cost of converting your license is horrendous.
To go elsewhere isn't nearly as difficult.
Things to consider.
Licenses. Do they accept the Australian CPL?
Visas. Do I need one to work?
Opportunity. What location has an active GA and takes low houred guys.
Do I like living in that country?
