For me, it was a 2.5 yr process. I interviewed for a job that was brought up by a friend I have known since college.
I turned down that job and so did the other pilot that interviewed.
From that I was offered an interview as a demo pilot with Embraer. That fell through due to Embraer requiring all pilots to be ANAC certified.
From that I met another guy who offered me the current job I have.
Absolutely all about who you know and not what you know.
