Westminster Search

Getting your first job in politics can be a difficult endeavour.

There is little information around, and it all feels very smoke and mirrors.

Luckily, as a recruiter within the public affairs and public relations for over a decade and a former employee of an MP and MSP, I am perfectly placed to help you make that first step.

Below are full chapter extracts from my book Political Careers.
