![]() Craig | Hi, there! I’d like to tell you about my experiences here in Australia. After seven years of university, I expected to find a good job pretty easily. But you can’t get a job without experience and you can’t get experience without a job! I don’t mind starting on a low paid job but I don’t get the chance. Right now, I’m spending all my time filling in application forms and I’m getting pretty sad. Does this happen in other countries? Posted by: Craig from Australia 28 May 23: 11 |

![]() Eddie | It was the 1980s! It was not easy for me when I learnt to use a computer in my first job. But I soon found that I loved working with computers and so I saved up and bought one. After a few years, I decided to start my own computer company and today I am a success as a boss with homes in London and California. Success is all in your head. You need to know exactly what you want to do in life, then nothing can stop you. Posted by: Eddie from London 1 July 18: 37 |
