Typically one needs to hand deliver one's resume to the Alaska 135 outfits. Emailed and snail mailed resumes don't seem to get much attention. Often the chief pilot will spend some time with you if you call ahead.

With few exceptions, regardless of one's experience, new hires at Era start in the sled for some seasoning (duration varies), then move the the Caravan, then the Navajo, then you jump over to the 121 side to fly the B1900 or the Dash 8. Most openings are filled by internal candidates, so there aren't many opportunities to enter directly into the B1900 or the Dash 8.
