Personal Details

I have now finished my masters degree and am beginning my search for a job. I believe my university grades have proved my ability, and so I am now eager to start working as soon as possible: I am seeking an established and reputable company that can offer an ambitious young person a genuine opportunity for a worthwhile career.

My degrees are both in politics, and I would ideally like to become involved in this area. I am a committed and passionate person with principled beliefs, and I think I would be well suited to a career in the media and journalism industries, specifically dealing with news and current affairs. I am a regular reader of The Guardian and New Left Review, and have also a particular interest in online media, being an avid user of blogs.

I have recently taken up going to the gym, and am continuing to work on my general fitnessin my spare time. I very much enjoy reading, including books on literature, history andpopular science
