Find an active CAP squadron and offer to teach ground school - for free. That will help you keep the regs, procedural side from getting rusty.
Visit the local FBO's. Introduce yourself around and bring resumes. Explain that you are looking to build time and are willing to sit right seat in anything.
There is most likely some small charter operator doing single pilot that would be glad for the help and the company.
Post an ad on Barnstormers.com and offer to ferry airplanes for expenses, or sit right seat in any part 91 ops.
Good luck, and welcome to the greatest profession.

Flight time is not compensation. The logging of it, as a tangible item of value, is compensation.

I agree on some of the other points, if he wants to stay fresh and sit right seat on single pilot aircraft I don't see a problem.

There are Internationally operating ferry compagnies that you can legally work for as they are based ( and pay) outside of the United States.
You may have to do the first couple of trips unpaid with an experienced pilot as taking a SE airplane across the world is not for the faint of heart or the uninitiated.
