Last year, a young British man took himself to Waterloo station in the quest for a job.
Alfred Ajani stood on the platform and held up a sign – “Marketing Graduate, BA Hons 2.1 Coventry Uni, Ask for a CV”.
This year Mr Ajani returned to the station, this time holding up a sign saying “Now I’m hiring”.
His individual campaign attracted media attention last year and he was hired by the Asoria Group, a small recruitment firm which liked his innovative approach to gaining that attention.
As the group’s public relations manager he is responsible for promoting the company, including on social media and the press.
His return to Waterloo under the banner of “Now I’m hiring” not only highlights his personal success but has gained fresh publicity for Asoria Group.
Last year after he was hired Mr Ajani advised graduates to take risks.
"Advice I would give to graduates: Don’t be scared; safe is risky. Be ready to promote yourself and your ideas. It only has to work once for it to be a success," he said.
"I am really interested in engaging in self-promotion activities and encouraging passive jobs seekers to get active," he added.
