Thanks for accepting me.​

My name is Mick,
have lived on the Gold Coast for 3 years and after trying to find a job for 18 months (no luck- came to the conclusion that employers want a 20yo with 20 yrs experience) finally found work as a volunteer driver for a community transport company.
Love it, driving the elderly & disabled around for medical, work, visiting friends, shopping etc.
Also just a quick note about the Jobseeker increase, my wife is on it as well, and as single payments we end up with less than $10 fortnight each.
