Here's something I don't understand: I've spent about ten years in the conference industry, a sector that gives you a range of transferrable skills. Yet when I look for a job in a parallel/similar sector (in-house events, market research, B2B marketing) invariably I get told that I don't have the right experience. There's nothing more important than years devoted to one sector/subject.
So how come we let the people who lead the country chop and change every few years? I just heard Michael Meacher interviewed on the Today programme; he was an expert on employment when he gave the keynote address at my Annual Employment Law conference in 1994, and now he's an "expert" on transport; how does that work?
