There are actually quite a few skydiving companies in the Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky region. You'll have to do your homework and search. Pull out a VFR sectional and look for parachutes. Figure out what the name of the skydiving company is and send them an email or call them.
FlyingTrees -

I don't have that much experience as a jump pilot, but the job that I got was achieved exactly how Oblique advertised. I found out that there was a local jump school and I showed up with less total time than you, offered my services, and I guess they needed someone because they offered me the job for either $10/load or free jump lessons to start. Networking is key - and in this case it meant face time.
