This is going to sound harsh, but:

You either aren't competitive, or they can see you are applying in order to get a rating and will split at the very first flying job you can get.

Which is why a lot of corporate operators are leery of hiring airline pilots.

As for "breaking in"....networking is the best possible thing you can do.

That, and a willingness to "settle" for something smaller than the two largest ultra-long range airframes in existance.
