Get the CFI stuff if you can.
Move to wear the jobs are: California, Texas, & Florida all have lots of general avaition flying to do.
Fly banners, traffic watch, anything with wings.
Work non-flying jobs at busy GA airports to make contacts.

I got my CFI stuff while working at a FBO and learned of a traffic watch job from a helicopter pilot while I was refueling him. I flew 1200 hours that year in a C172. I also got a CFI job during that time at the same airport. I refueled their planes hundreds of times and talked to the instructors. Then I put up a business card everywhere to get students. A corporate pilot saw it on a bulletin board and called me and offered me a right-seat job over the phone! That lead to a left seat job (turbo-prop) from another guy I met flying in the right seat. It "snow balls". Eventually you have too much time and experience. I went to a regional and now at a major. I can upgrade next year in the 737 (unless I go to the 777 or 787 as FO).
Go anywhere, fly anything. Have fun doing it.
