    "Tip for {city} tradies looking for work: agencies typically take 20–30% off your hourly rate before you ever see it. If you can get on a site's direct books even for one job, that's real money back in your pocket — worth asking when you call.",
    "If you're hunting construction work in {city} and haven't got your White Card yet — get it sorted this week. Most sites won't even discuss a start without it, and it only takes a day. Everything else can wait; the card can't.",
    "Pay rate reality check for {city}: labour hire agencies advertise $30–35/hr but the site is often paying them $45–50. Going direct or using a flat-fee platform is how experienced workers are closing that gap. Know your worth before you sign anything."
