Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A British man who stood at Waterloo station with a sign asking for a job has returned a year later with a sign offering to hire people.
Alfred Ajani, a marketing graduate from Coventry university, was hired as a public relations manager by a small recruitment firm.
He is in charge of promoting the company, including on social media and in the press.
Mr Ajani returned to the same station where he originally caught the firm's eye to take another sign picture, this time with "Now I'm hiring" printed on it.
Last September the man attracted media attention for the stunt in Waterloo station.
The company Mr Ajani now works for, Asoria Group, is hiring recruitment consultants, and the coverage of the sign picture is likely to bring them increased publicity.
Mr Ajani was hired by the group on the basis that he had come up with an innovative way of gaining media attention for himself during his job search.
In an interview with PCMS group last year after he was hired Mr Ajani advised graduates to take risks.
"Advice I would give to graduates: Don’t be scared; safe is risky. Be ready to promote yourself and your ideas. It only has to work once for it to be a success," he said.
"I am really interested in engaging in self-promotion activities and encouraging passive jobs seekers to get active," the marketing graduate added.
