There was a thread last month on this subject and another one entitled Flying Overseas from about one year ago.
The above posters have made good comments. The best jobs are never advertised and almost all require PIC time in type. The exceptions being Cathay, Emirates, and Dragonair. Although competitive minimums at Emirates are now at a minimum of 5000 total with good jet time and, for Americans, dual nationality or foreign work/life experience by either you or your spouse.
I wouldn't bother with a JAA conversion unless you have the right to live and work in the EU. The FAA certificate is usually good enough for a validation in most Middle Eastern and Asian countries, which also happens to be where the majority of the jobs are.
