Do you have over 1000 hours? If not you need to spend your time and money getting time in a 152 or, better yet, a seminole. The ONLY way low-time pilots get corporate jobs is by knowing someone really well...do you?
The only reason to ever buy a type rating would be if you have a dream job offer and they insist that you get the type first (everybody at SWA had to do this this). Many corporate operators will even buy the type for you, but many will not. But again, a type rating is almost certainly useless unless you have 1000 hours (for insurance) or 1200 hours (part 135 regulations).
