Naked ambition fires job-hunters
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.

A JOBCENTRE has been inundated with applications from women for the post of wardrobe assistant to the Chippendales, the male stripping troupe.
The job pays pounds 5 an hour for five hours' work backstage during a performance in Skegness, Lincolnshire, next week. A spokesman for the resort's Jobcentre said: 'We could have filled this vacancy before we even put it on the shelves. We deliberately kept it low-profile so that the switchboards did not jam, but word leaked out.'
But the job may not be very glamorous. It mainly involves ironing and their manager, Tony Gorman, said: 'There are 18 guys. That adds up to a lot of costume changes.'
