Im not sure if it just me or is it really hard to get a start from the outside or if you dont know anybody?
This is exactly what I have experienced, many friends have tried their luck but always get the same reply it's not what you know, it's who you know. That is why we all laugh when people talk about labour shortages, there is no lack of people willing to do the work........
