MARVELL Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Student bags job after desperate roadside placard-waving plea Hugh Chadwick went to extreme measures to secure work - but his efforts have paid off A student who resorted to advertising his availability for work at a busy road junction for days on end has hit the jackpot after clinching a position with renowned engineering company.For hard-up Hugh Chadwick it was a dream come true when the offer came through from Rotech Laboratories. ; Left penniless after enrolling on an HND course in aerospace engineering, the 20-year-old felt he had to take drastic action.Standing on the side of a busy road in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, determined Hugh brandished a placard which read 'Please Give Me A Job', with a smiley face drawn on the top-right corner for extra effect. His persistence has now paid off handsomely, with Hugh due to start in his new role on Monday. Hugh, from Solihull, told the Birmingham Mail: "I got a job offer from Rotech and went to see them on Friday. It went really well. They offered me a job as a mechanical testing technician and I start on Monday - I can't wait." 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raegus Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Lol a black person will never do this too much pride even if there hungry they would watch face No race topic. David started it. I think that's due to us being made to feel like we have the reputation of our whole race on our shoulders. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petercrotch Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 a black person would NEVER EVER do something like this . not so much because of rep or being too cool, its because most of us do not like being the centre of attention unlike white people . fair play to the lad its good that he showed abit of initiative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Martinez Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Also many people have done this before. A few people done it on the plinth @ trafalgar square http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/sep/02/plinth-trafalgar-square-graduate-job Many people have done it on busy routes within the square mile and I'm sure a Black banker got a job doing this in Bank somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARVELL Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 i once read of some british guy (and black)who got into property mgt and running his own company just from seeing some breh driving a porshe or thereabouts and walking up to him to ask how he can make the money he did and the guy took him under his wing. i guess if no one here has or needs that motivation the results will be flawed.
