There are overseas contract jobs (south east Asia, middle east, India etc) available where you could apply directly for a captains position. Trick is you usuall need a significant amount of Pilot in Command time in the specific aircraft for which you are applying.

Do a lot of research and find the airlines that you'd most like to work for then figure out how best to connect the dots from zero time to competitive applicant. Don't think you'll win the airline lottery right out of flight training, know that you'll struggle earning low wages for several years, and don't be surprised if along the way to your "dream" job you decide that your "stepping stone" becomes the place you want to retire from.

Good luck and welcome aboard.
