It depends on where you want to fly. If you intend staying in NZ or going to Australia then you will find that you are at the bottom of a heap of barely qualified commercial pilots. You will probably have to do some single engine VFR scenic work followed by some twin piston engine charter, then maybe turbo-props in a regional airline. This may take several years.
On the other hand, the situation is different in other countries. Europe seems to have airlines that will employ low time pilots.
