Welcome Torridge District Council
I’ve built an online profile, so you can really get a sense of who I am and why I’d be the PERFECT candidate for the role of
Bideford Communications officer.
My first class degree in visual communications and my recent experience with helping local businesses with their marketing is evidence as to why you’d want to give me an interview.

Introduction
I don’t believe in CV’s.
The limitations of an A4 piece of paper don’t even begin to explain my skills and experience. I’m a true born creative thinker, so I wanted to use this opportunity to show you how I’ll be highly motivated to create results that people remember and thrive from. Half hearted effort doesn’t cut it for me.
There’s nothing that I believe more than the statement ‘everything happens for a reason’, and this resonates highly with this opportunity as I was only recently saying how I’m ready to input my skills into making my community better.
If you want ideas and creativity and the ability to think outside the box, you won’t find a candidate who is stronger than me.
