"Me and my partner went to the Pacific lodge to help our chances to get work, they put our names down straight away for any work they may have and gave us tips on how best to present ourselves and even gave us free printouts of our CV's to further better our chances. It was also a very welcoming, clean and friendly environment that offered so much. Definitely recommend."
