Default Lacking twin time

I am a chief flight instructor at a part 61 flight school. I learned to fly there 3 years ago and got all of my ratings except for multi. The airport is a ma and pa type of place with a short field, too short to operate a twin. Here is my dilemma. I currently have a total of 930 hours, but only 7.2 hours of multi. I have been averaging about 65 hours a month. I am only one endorsement short of applying for the Gold Seal. I also have a 4 year degree. I have been looking at Great Lakes, and Piedmont thus far, but haven't been applying for others such as Expressjet and Skywest because I am afraid they would laugh at my multi time. There are a couple of options I am thinking of.
1. Keep applying for regionals and somebody ought to pick me up.
2. Resign my current position and start looking at working at a flight school with a twin operation (not at all desirable since I truly enjoy working here)
I am very lucky to not have any loans. Yes I definitely bragged about myself in this post, so I apologize for that. However, I am afraid that my "qualifications" won't suffice a hiring department at a regional due to my extremely low twin time. Any advice is appreciated.
