Job Search.

Recently I have been thinking about my career, I have previously blogged about my 5 year plan and my career aims with Tesco. However i have now started to explore other companies to try and broaden my contacts in the industry. I have signed up to a career website called 'Jobrapido' they send me emails every-time a job comes up that matches my interests. Although I am not currently looking for a job reading them shows me what employers are looking for and what jobs there are out there for the future.


Bellow are the details for my dream job, this prompted me to contact Fat Face inquiring about the possibilities of a work placement. I couldn't believe how quick they were to respond, after a few days of talks and e-mails they have offered me a 3 week placement in the garment tech department. I am so excited, cant wait!
