We are delighted to pass on the good news that our Intern Tom Malbon has secured his ‘dream job’.

Tom (pictured left) who despite being a graduate of Oxford University, was finding it difficult to secure interviews, due to a ‘lack of experience’.  He found Wider Impact via an advert we placed with Graduate Advantage (see http://www.graduateadvantage.co.uk/) for a Social Media and Marketing Associate (Intern), and the rest is history.

He was a great success at the role, and following his short time with us he found he was attending ‘back to back interviews’, which have resulted in him accepting his ‘dream job as a Marketing Assistant with Blue Ray Travel, an independent travel agency specialising in luxury Caribbean holidays’.

Of his time with Wider Impact Tom says, ‘Although the learning curve was steep, the experiences were absolutely invaluable. For example, in adition to attending key meetings and carrying out research, I got first-hand experience of using web analysis and social media in a business context. Over my three months with Wider Impact I gained vital elements that dramatically increased my employability.  I am really grateful to such an ethical company, and of course Graduate Advantage for making such as worthwhile connection’.

Wider Impact Director Edwin Lewis says,‘It is so rewarding to play a role in supporting local young people into employment. We are delighted for Tom and grateful to Graduate Advantage for their expertise and dedication in such an import area’.
