What are you looking for?
There are 135 operators with single engine piston, multi engine piston, turbo prop single or multi and Jets.
Do you qualify as per the regs?
Insurance compagnies determine hiring requirements.
I know of a 135 near me that requires ATP and 500 ME to fly a clapped out C310.
Lot of the small companies go by word of mouth and recommendations.
Pardon my French and no disrespect but nobody and I mean nobody will give a 19 year old with 500hrs TT the time of day if you walk in and they don’t know you.
Now if they’ve seen you pumping gas and generally working your ass off and being polite and have good work ethic and you’re responsible then yes.
You’ll be a shoe in.
Former student of mine got hired just like that right out of the fuel truck into a Part 91 turboprop.
If you’re low time your best bet is to get a job at a busy FBO for the next season ( Oct-May) and start networking.
Keep instrument current by finding a buddy to do approaches with.
