Captain here, but I've just lost a job offer (but luckily hadn't handed in my notice yet), so fully understand your frustration..
Following qualification and before getting a job, I worked several jobs. It took about 2 years for me to find something, and I was training during 2001, so hopefully under worse circumstances than now.
The current situation is much worse than 2001. The whole world is into a recession now, and it's going to get worse, a lot worse before it starts to get better.
Thousands of unemployed pilots all over the world.
2 years in current circumstances is very optimistic, I believe it will be 3 - 4 years at least.
