Yes it is an over subscribed market. However many community excavations hire in professionals to manage and deliver the project so if you volunteer you will be showing the unit running the dig what you can do and when they are taking on staff they may well take on someone they have worked with on a community excavation. They will much rather go with someone who they know and who works hard even if they are a little inexperienced. In this game it's all about networking
