Question Training in USA - ratings to fly for foreign carriers

Hello,
Newby here. Please forgive what might be a stupid question, but I have not met anyone who can do anything but guess the answer to my question, even at the airline I work for now.

Given the state of hiring/lack thereof/furloughs here in the USA, hiring will be very limited, I am open to the idea of flying for a foreign carrier. I have to go the civilian route. I won't even have my commercial/multi ratings until late October at best. I am trying to get am idea of flying jobs other than CFI, but I will obviously have very limited experience. I know I have to build a lot of time before this is even a realistic option, but just trying to get an idea. I'm thinking freight dog or Alaska for building hours, but what after that?

So, I was wondering the best way to go about getting rated to fly for carriers outside the USA. I would like to find the most efficient schools, minimum hours/requirements, and anything else that factors into this (other than the obvious language obstacles).

I know I have a long way to go, but knowing more routes might help.

Thank you in advance.
