Rick,
If I were you, I would continue to fly jumpers until you got 100 hours multi with 1000 hours total time, then apply everywhere you can. If you don't get anything, then once you get to 1200, assuming you have the rest of the 135 minimums, I would apply to Ameriflight and get on with them flying a Navajo. Upgrade in a year or so to a 99, and after that to something with a type rating. A couple years of doing that can open many doors for you.
If you want a different path, do the CFI, CFII, MEI and get some students or an instruction job, but only if you like teaching. If you hate teaching, please don't do it, both for your sake, and for that of your students.
Good luck. Times are tough for low hour pilots right now, but it will get better!
