Definitely keep at that CFII, mine paid for itself several times over. Then get the hell out of Hillsboro, it sounds to me like it's sapping your confidence. I started to have the same thing in FL.
My friend Rene got in his car and went on a roadtrip around the USA to get a job, he ended up working at Boatpix. It may be worth giving them a call, or Ocean Helicopters, I've heard good things about them. There's a whole load of schools in Florida that could be good. Check out this link for a list of schools:
Find a Helicopter School
The important thing is to get working asap
Good luck mate

I sympathise with anyone looking for a CFI job in the USA right now. If the school you trained at doesn't hire you then it can be an expensive and time consuming process getting that crucial first job.
My advice is NOT to just cold email/post CVs out. Phone up schools first and get talking to the person that does the hiring/chief pilot. Schools get TONS of CVs in the mail/email.

I think I've seen a few adverts for Boatpix advertising for Pilots. I'm pretty sure they're always keen to find instructors.
Here we go, just found this:
They're not everyone's cup of tea, but I spent a bit of time with them, and it worked really well for me.
Good luck what ever you find.
Here we go, just found this:
BOATPIX has summer R22 contracts when the weather starts warming up and people start using there boats. We are looking for interested parties for Jacksonville, Pensacola, Chicago, Port Clinton Ohio, Newport Rhode Island, Seattle and Morehead City, North Carolina. There are some opportunities for displaced instructors from schools that have closed that have funded students that are interested in training and then a job guarantee. We always have instructors that are closing in on 1000 hours and can leave quickly and need to be replaced quickly. Review our website and then call me at 561-346-2816 Tom McDermott, President, BOATPIX.COM, INC. and Manager of Helicopter Academy. Helicopter training., LLC
Good luck what ever you find.
