I left university with a degree in business and Finance. I got a 2:1 so I had been delighted with that result to my three years of study. I left university with a student loan of twenty thousand pounds. I wanted to get a good job to start paying it back. I decided that there might be an excellent salary working for an insurance company. I wondered if I could get a job working on a computer because I really liked doing that sort of thing.

I went to a careers fayre and spoke to the director of Watson's Motor Trade Insurance Online. He told me that each September five trainee brokers joined his company. The salary for a graduate was £25,000. Next I spoke to the manager of Fun Days Travel Insurance. He told me that they took on three graduates a year. The salary there was £19,000. I thought that Watson's Motor Trade Insurance Online would be great for me to apply for. I took an application form away with me.

As soon as I got home I filled out my application form to the Watson's Motor Trade Insurance Online. I walked down to the post box that evening to post it. A week later they sent me a letter inviting me to an interview. I went out to British Home Stores to buy a new suit.

I felt so nervous when I turned up at Watson's motor trade insurance online for my interview. It was an interview with three men: the director, the personnel manager and the line manager. They told me that the position was Internet based and it was giving online quotes for car insurance. At the end of my interview the director told me I had been successful.

I joined Watson's Motor Trade Insurance Online in October 2002. I worked in an office with five other colleagues: Sarah, Amanda, Thomas, Jack and Mark. I enjoyed working on the computer giving the quotes. I had worked there for one year when the director gave a talk to every member of the company. He explained that another six new offices were going to be opened. He said that the locations would be Plymouth, Oxford, Whitby, Newcastle, Cardiff and Edinburgh would open by December 2003. Sarah chose to work in the Plymouth office. Amanda decided to work in the Oxford office. When the director said a £10,000 relocation grant would be given I chose to work in the Whitby office. So that is how I came to live in lovely Yorkshire.
