^^Not sure what trade you are after but we don't ask for guys to have done pre-apps.
As a general comment I think have the problem is the young guys want big money and every thing to happen straight away and are not prepared to work there way up. Like having a 17yo walk in of the street and telling me he want $25 an hour becouse he thinks he is worth and and thats what he needs to live on. Do the hard yards like most other poeple( some are luck and don't have to) but most poeple need to work hard and then the money starts to come in.
