THIS is the latest set of CVs aimed at helping jobless Scunthorpe Telegraph readers find employment.

One of the major aims of the Telegraph's Forging Our Future campaign is to help secure work for the 5,000 people currently unemployed in North Lincolnshire.

We are publishing the det- ails of unemployed readers throughout the campaign in a bid to help them secure jobs.

One of the jobseekers featured today is Steven Webb, 17, of Scunthorpe.

After finishing his course at North Lindsey College, he has sent about 150 CVs to companies, without success.

He said: "I left college in July and I have been looking ever since then to get a job.

"It is difficult to get my foot in the door or even to get an answer.

"I have sent about 150 CVs and about 20 have replied.

"I would like to get some office work and I am not too picky. I have got a good work ethic and like to make sure a job is done properly."

Matthew Smith, of Scunthorpe, is also featured.

The former John Leggott College student has previously worked at places such as Scunthorpe Leisure Centre and NHS North Lincolnshire.

He said: "Ideally, I would like to work in the IT industry as that is where my qualification and training lies.

"When I was starting out about five years ago, it really looked like the industry to be in but jobs in the area seemed to have dried up recently.

"With that in mind, I've done about 500 hours of volunteering in the year or so I've been unemployed to help me get a broader range of skills and experience.

"I am also a very motivated and sitting around the house not doing anything has never really appealed to me."

If you are currently unemployed and would like to publish your CV across the region, then send it to: Forging Our Future, Scunthorpe Telegraph, 4-5 Park Square, Laneham Street, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, DN15 6JH.
