During the recession in the UK I found myself newly graduated from art school and jobless. In the spirit of being stupid I set up a business making websites and eventually hosting and maintaing them. I was a terrible CEO and within 3 years the business started to dry up. I had a baby on the way and bills to pay. After being treated terribly at a contract role, I plucked up the courage ask to work at my dream job for Dyson... There where no jobs being advertised but despite this they gave me an interview, probably out of kindness more than anything, I started as a JR, here I am 2 years later. Baby now a toddler and I am well established in my team.
