JOB SEEKING MADE EASY

FINDING the right job can be extremely demanding.

But thisisswansea.co.uk/jobs is helping thousands of people find the one that is right for them. It is not only job hunters that are using the site to great effect.

David Harries, manager of customer service staff, said thisisswansea.co.uk/jobs had been a massive boost for his company. He said: “We have found the web advertising program an invaluable resource in our recruitment drive for quality staff.

“Not only is it extremely effective at reaching our target group but it is very economical compared with the traditional methods we have used to recruit in the past. We were amazed at the response levels and will certainly keep using this facility. We highly recommend it.”

 

ONE-STOP SHOP FOR A NEW CAR

BUYING a new car and navigating the Arthur Daley types can be a harrowing experience. Eimear Hannon, of Llansamlet, logged on to the thisisswansea.co.uk/motors website and avoided motoring misery.

She said: “Searching on the site made purchasing my car easy and hassle free. The website showed me what I could get for my money and with such a great choice and variety of motors, I found my car in no time. I knew what car I wanted and thisisswansea.co.uk/motors eliminated the needless ploughing through cars and within seconds the site filtered my search.

“I was test driving my new car and within seconds the site filtered my search into the cars I wanted, the spec I wanted and the price I was willing to pay. One quick ring to the dealer and I was test driving my new car within 24 hours. By searching on thisisswansea.co.uk/motors I did not have to leave my home to find my car, nor did I have to trail through pages and pages of cars magazines.

“I could look for local cars within miles of my home. Next time I buy a car, I’ll know where to look: thisisswansea.co.uk/motors. I can even sell my old one on the site too.”
