The Young Web Developer

I was lucky enough to meet Phil today. He is a great example of the determination and commitment people show in order to get a job. At only nineteen he left his home town and came to live in Bristol on his own so that he could attend a poorly paid apprenticeship.

As with so many I have spoken to on this trip Phil told me about his frustration at being told he lacked  experience when applying for jobs.

Hi apprenticeship ended and he wasn't offered a full time position but the company did help him to perfect his CV and search for new positions.

He now has a full time job at another Web agency and at just twenty, is already carving out a career for himself in an industry he loves.
