Although things are improving, there are still a lot of unemployed people in the UK. And there are even more who are employed, but not making enough money. This is a big problem, and as we know, where there is a problem, there’s also an opportunity.

For the price of a hotel meeting room, you could invite anyone interested in employment networking to turn up and charge them a small fee at the door. You’ll need to provide some refreshments and a few snacks, but this would be covered by entrance fees. Meetings could involve guest speakers, personal presentation workshops and cv writing advice sessions.

This is one of those ideas that would cost very little to try out.
