OK georgia, I´ll keep my ear to the ground. Don´t know many people up your way and the few I do I couldn´t recommend!!!
I didn´t see the program, shame I missed it, I like that kind of stuff. There was a similar one last year where a guy gave advice to new-start businesses. He was very good, the format was the same for every episode, People start a business, it doesn´t go to the business plan, they get desperate, he gives them all sorts of good advice, they disagree, he insists and in the end it takes off.
However, all the businesses were in growing markets, Juice Bars, Male Cosmetics, Food outlets etc.
I´m sure if he was asked to turn around an ailing Spanish Property Agent he would say "forget it". I guess the market is not going to get any better for the foreseable future.
I must get at least 3 or 4 people in every week asking for a sales job, they have no Spanish, no idea of the geography and often have only been in spain a few weeks. They don´t stand a chance!
