Speaker 2 (01:20):
I went to Senate Link for six months CAPE and
back then you had to you had to search for
two jobs how often every week every fortnight, so you
go in so it was a job a week. So
then you had to put down the number the person
that you contacted. And unfortunately I couldn't get a job.
But these are the two jobs that I tried to get.

(01:41):
And every time there was a guy down the footy club, Gossie,
who worked at Cettelink right, and he used to and
I was good mates with Gossie. And if I was
one job short, as I was walking in the cineling,
I'd go to Gossi GOSSI any jobs going here? And
he gave fits, No, there's not, and I'll go thanks mate,
that's my sake.

like me.

at Franklin's No Frills as a checkout chick yep, and
I was stacking. I was stacking boxes and also doing
the dairy section. And then I saved up money to

become a travel agent. And then they said, hey, we
got you a job at the end of the course,
and oh that's awesome. What travel agency am I going to?
And I said, oh, no, we know you're struggling for
money from down South, so we got your job at
a jewelry store. It'll be selling jewelry. So I said,
I've just paid three thousand dollars to become a travel
agent and I'm selling Sako watchers at at a jewelry store.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
But people would be buying watchers to keep them. I
don't want things when they travel. So you can see
