Update on Jamie Lewis

Since we published Jamie's story in the Summer edition of 'Access News' and on our new Student Stories section, he has been offered a job as a web journalist at the International Business Times in Canary Wharf, London.

When recruiting for the post of Web Journalist the company asked for a minimum of a degree and one year's experience in journalism. Jamie had neither but used his activity whilst on the Access course at Truro College to provide evidence of his skills.

Whilst studying he was commissioned to write articles for a Cornish based business website and set up a website for aspiring young journalists. Jamie submitted a range of work published whilst on the course and on this basis he was offered an interview. He impressed them so much they offered
him the job and he starts on October 3rd.

We wish Jamie all the very best in his new job and hope it is the start of a long and prosperous career. Jamie is a true Access success story!
