The sands of time

In a completely un-scientific straw poll, for all those lucky people who are employed pilots, how long did it take you from finishing training to landing some work? Does this seem a fair assessment?

0 - 3 months: "how the did you do it that quickly? You should write a book"
3 - 6 months: "pretty good going and certainly better than average"
6 - 9 months: "quite normal and nothing to worry about"
9 - 12 months: "still not quite pacemaker material but a bit worrying"
12+ months: "are you in the right job?"

thankfully I'm a 2 weeks kind of guy at the moment and not yet an old hand job hunter.
