Job success through Holdthefrontpage.co.uk

A £10 advert on Holdthefrontpage helped secure Carol Webb her first job in the regional press.

Her CV was spotted by managers at the Lincolnshire Echo, who invited her along for an interview – and took her on.

Carol, a graduate in ancient history and social anthropology from University College, London, advertised on our CV section for three months.

She’s now settling in at Lincoln after impressing head of content Mark Charlton at her interview.

He told us: “I looked at HTFP because it was easy to look at a full CV and see if any of them had anything that we were looking for.

“Luckily for Carol I completely misread her CV and thinking she was NCTJ-trained asked her to apply.

“Her application convinced us to give her a two-day trial and she did very well. The rest, as they say, is history.”

Carol’s previous experience includes working as a media assistant and a newsletter editor, as well as digital media work.

You too can tell the world what you have to offer. We’ll put your CV on our site for just £10 for three months. Contact Patrick Astill or Nikki Sargeson on 0116 227 3122 or e-mail us by clicking here.
