    Having lived in quite a few countries now, it’s all about who you know. It’s extremely hard to get a job when you don’t have a network.

      I was going to say that I’ve learned that networking is like 90% of getting ahead. Treat everyone you work with and know well, keep in contact with them every once in a while, and it can, not that it will, pay off.

      Worked for me. I’m lucky.
