Damn, I hate to be the dude that breaks it to you, but looks like you are in for quite the ride. This indusrty is very volatile as you may have noticed. Nothing is certain until it is certain. In otherwords, you might get offered a job and get through training only to be told that the airline that hired you in the first place is closing. well, I am sure you have done your research. Right now the best and possibly only thing you can do is keep instructing because no one is hiring. A lot of places overseas do not train their pilots. They want you to be typed on the equipment they fly before you even show for the interview. The ones that might show interest will be small operators with light twins and C206'S or 210's, in which case I think you are better off in the states. It is just the way everything seems to be playing out right now. So right now just grab that six pack and sip away and wait for the door bell to ring. It could be tomorrow or next year....no one knows for sure. Once again, foreign operators always want you to be typed with time in type as well. So a brief stint at the regionals might be your alternative and then take that rating with you on to wherever. Good luck and keep them safe up there!
