On the scrapheap at 21? The Dukinfield IT expert turned down for 1,500 jobs

A job hunter who was turned down for more than 1,500 vacancies has finally found work – after we revealed his plight. Daniel Smith feared he was on the scrapheap at 21 after trying without success to secure employment for more than two years. But he has now received the news he was hoping for – a job offer from a Manchester hotel after bosses read his story.

 

 

Daniel got a phone call inviting him for an interview yesterday afternoon at Travelodge on Great Ducie Street in the city centre – and within an hour he had been offered a job. He is set to start on Saturday – initially working in the bar for 16 hours a week. But managers told him he could be trained up for other roles, which could provide full-time employment. Daniel said: "It’s really good news – it has been a long time coming but it happened so quickly after we ran the story. I got the phone call and then it all spiralled from there.

 

Daniel Smith outside the Travelodge on Great Ducie Street in the city centre where he has been given a bar job. "My interview went well. They liked me and said they admired my determination and eagerness to find a job so they were willing to take me on.

 

"I’ve had some experience of bar work so I’m hoping it won’t take me long to learn the ropes. They mentioned I could potentially do some reception work so it will give me chance to gain experience in different areas and get on the employment ladder. I’m delighted."

 

Daniel, from Dukinfield, sailed through a college IT course at Ashton Sixth Form College in 2009 and started looking for work – applying for an average of two jobs a day for more than two years. The article prompted scores of website users to post messages of support for Daniel, including job advice.

 

"I had a lot of comments about my story from friends and people who had read it," Daniel added.

 

"Hopefully, it has shown how big the problem is and sends a message to the government that more needs to be done to help people like me."
