I interviewed with guys that had 400 hours. I was the highest time in my interview group besides one guy, and I had 1200. I went a different route, but they seem to hire sharp lower time individuals if they’re willing to put in work. Full disclaimer: I don’t work for them so I’m only sharing what I’ve been told and observed.

Here is a low-time position, flying jumpers in a C-182 in Newport, Rhode Island. (They don't say how many hours you need.)

If you have home constraints where you wouldn't be able to travel far, then being a CFI is the best option. Last time I checked doing pipeline work, skydiving, right seat in a Part 135 company, or a part 91 gig usually require at least 500TT; some want Part 135.243 (b) complied with. It's not impossible to find a job with 300TT, but it will take a lot of leg work, networking, and persistence to find one. Good luck! PM if you want.
