In addition to all of the above suggestions, I'd add that it's incredibly important to build your network of aviation contacts. Fellow pilots, flight instructors, people that work at the FBO, mechanics, etc. The more people that know you, know what you're interested in doing, the better you'll be in terms of potential opportunities. Especially true for jobs that wouldn't get advertised.
I finally found a part-time pilot job the part-91 world which came about because of an instructor I knew at a local flight school. He'd been working this same job but was moving on to something else and passed the job info. along to me. A simple phone call to the company owner and I was hired.

Different people, different values but if I’ve seen you treat FBO staff poorly you wouldn’t get a CFI job from me.
If you treat anybody poorly they may just decide not to tell you about that job opportunity they’ve just heard about.
Over the years I’ve been asked numerous times if I knew somebody to fly this or do that.
You may meet a 1000 people and one holds the Golden Ticket for you.

The truth is
The low time jobs are out there if you are willing to relocate. Ameriflight, Cape Air, Southern Express Airways are a few examples.
If you are willing to relocate and essentially have no life, you can get a job with a survey company with really low hours.
It gets much more difficult if you are tied to a particular area and can only work part time. At least you are in a populated area so you eventually may be able to pick something up. Doing your training locally should help, you may make some connections.
