I found a gap in the market and I'm currently working to exploit that gap. I have no real experience in running a retail site or selling to 'buyers' of stores, but I will have in a few months time! :D
I think it's probably easier to switch gears mentally here because you're switching companies. No one has any real idea of who you are, what your qualifications really mean, and it's quite refreshing to walk into a bank, give them a presentation and hear them say 'yes' to finance. |

LOL - no, plenty of trainers around already ... I'm going for a hole in the market. ;) |

Hubby wants a career change, he has no idea what he wants to do as he has no experience or qualifications in anything else but he would be quite happy to go back to college and retrain.

G In answer to your question Grayling from our point of view, it's because we wouldn't have a mortgage in Oz so the urgent need to bring in a large wage each month wouldn't be there, unlike here in the UK. |
