00:00My experience is very much it's difficult to recruit typically for what

00:05we're looking for so where I were either people haven't got the required skills

00:10or don't necessarily want to work in the job that I do.

00:14Bigger side on that, I can't find a job anywhere I've applied to over 60 jobs and it's not even my

00:20work ethic because I want to work they just won't take me because I have no

00:25experience. A lot of places require experience but you can't go and get

00:29experience because everyone else is looking for people with experience.

00:33So the job market is it's a fickle thing isn't it at the end of the day. You hear the

00:39government say something like oh look right we need you to work longer as in

00:44like past 65 and XYZ but then they start talking about immigration and saying

00:50that they haven't got the people to come and get that do the jobs you know stop

00:53the boats and all that kind of stuff. I think they should think things out a bit

00:59better.
