Don't worry - all units know that if they never take on inexperienced staff, eventually all the experienced ones will retire and there won't be any replacements.
There are restrictions on some projects, but not all, and most units will offer jobs to inexperienced diggers - especially if they have shown themselves willing to work hard and keen to learn; it sounds as if you have done that. Your museum experience will also help.
Where specifications do impose minimum qualification/experience levels, the experience required for site workers in non-supervisory roles is often 6 months, and it looks like you are going to have that.
The scorn poured (a bit harshly) on new graduate diggers in this thread seems mainly to be targeted at those who graduate with no more than the minimum allowable experience required by their course (often 6 weeks, rather than the 6 months you are aiming for).
