BTW, Orian, it is enough for a paper to be accepted for publication to list in on your CV, even if it is not published yet, so, it might take less time you think.
My friend, btw, in age of 37, with 2 only publications was looking for a lecturers positions almost 2 years and made around 14 applications before he got a job. So, keep trying!
Orian, competition for lecturing jobs, especially permanents ones, not hourly paid, currently is very, very taugh, apart from some fields. It is almost impossible to get a lecturers place in a good university without publications, unfortunately. I assume, that competition isnt less taugh for postdocs, especially in good places. I hope that journals will accept your papers soon and things will get better:)
Basically it is completely up to you when and what you complete, except for deadlines set by the deparment (e.g. for 1st year report). Your supervisor may or may not set you goals and deadlines but it is not definely her job. Regarding notes- my supervisor never ever has made any notes in supervisions. Why should he?
I would suggest- be proactive-decide what you want to do, by when, ask actively feedback from your supervisor.
well, I heard that some people who have been Professors in teaching universities have accepted positions of Lectures and Seniour Lecturers in Oxbridge(with a salary of Lecturer, of course)just to be there. So, it supports your hypothesis. And it means, as an academic you have to choose between fame and money:)
