Should I start applying now?

Hi all. I passed Exam P a bit less than a year ago, and am set to take Exam FM in April. When I first asked for career advice on these boards, just over a year ago, I was told to focus on passing those two exams before I worried about applying for jobs. While I still intend to follow that advice, I'm wondering how good my employment prospects would be right now. (Suffice it to say that circumstances have changed since I first posted, and if I have a realistic chance of being interviewed and/or hired before the exam it is in my best interests to do so sooner rather than later.)

A bit more information, if it matters:

-I am 30 years old, with a Bachelor's in Math and a Master's in Education from major universities. Most of my professional work experience is in teaching.
-I passed Exam P on my first attempt with a score of 8. Based on my studying, I expect to earn a similar grade on Exam FM.

So what do you think? Is it worth my time to start the job hunt now?
