Thanks for heads up on that thread, good to know that the minimum wage is still likely to be enforced, unless it becomes one of those issues mouse-pushers can vote on along with reductions in numbers of hanging baskets to save money at the local level in the new decentralisation of power to the online people....

I guess employers didn't expect so much experience and so many skills from diggers in the past, though the basics of excavation, recording, finds, processing are much the same, which definitely is and should be taught even more, if you don't get that basic stuff after a few months, then maybe the job's not for you.
As for the catch 22 guess it's wrong to say it and not wishing to sound patronising....but just be a little more creative with the cv. Hello, there must be loads who have...it's all about applying the techniques one has learnt anyway, noone can tick every box on the wishlist of commercial experience.
