I'm with you on the job applications. I haven't got a sports job from 'cold' ever. Other, non-sports, jobs that I've applied for have been more difficult. I seem to be one of the candidates asked for interview to show that HR are going through the process: the job goes to someone in the organisation already!
I feel sorry for young people trying to get on with no parental connections (although my 17 year-old daughter has got 2 jobs from scratch, one in hospitality, one in retail).
