After finishing her degree in Film Studies, Eloise was eager to start her career. However, like many graduates, she struggled to turn her qualifications into job opportunities.
She joined the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Employment West Yorkshire programme, which offers free, one-to-one employment support to adults in the region. This service meets people wherever they are in their journey - whether starting out, changing careers or returning to work.
Shortly after signing up, Eloise got an interview for a social media assistant role at Simply Wigs in Slaithwaite. With this opportunity ahead, her first meeting with an adviser focused on what she needed most: targeted interview preparation.
The impact of this support was immediate.
After her interview, Eloise secured the role.
Without the help preparing for the interview, I don’t think I would have got the job.
Eloise has been thriving in her role since July 2025, turning her passion for media into a career that’s just beginning.
Eloise’s story highlights what makes Employment West Yorkshire effective: personalised, practical support that meets individual needs at the right time.
Whether it’s interview preparation, CV advice or exploring training and career options, the programme empowers people to succeed.
If you’re looking for a job, apprenticeship or training, you don’t have to do it alone.
Employment West Yorkshire offers free, friendly, one-to-one support to help you move forward with confidence - whatever your starting point.
