A North West graduate has revealed his delight after a private message to Social Chain founder Steven Bartlett led to a job offer just 10 minutes later.
Nathan Bickerton said he had Googled Mr Bartlett's name on Wednesday morning and noticed he didn't have a Wikipedia page.
Writing on LinkedIn, Liverpool-based Mr Bickerton explained: "I thought he deserved one and needed content for my writing portfolio so I drafted one and got it uploaded."
He said he hoped it would help with SEO for an upcoming book campaign for Mr Bartlett.
He added: "After reaching out to Steven for permission to share the entry on my LinkedIn, he surprisingly responded offering me so much more!"
Social media guru Mr Bartlett last year left the Social Chain - a business he founded in 2014 - and recently joined the board of £72m turnover food replacement company Huel. His other current business interests include having founded private equity investment vehicle Catena Capital in August.
Mr Bartlett said: "I offered this young guy a job 10 minutes after he sent me this message.
"He identified a blind spot I had, created a solution, got it done and sent me a nice message.
"This one act stood out more than the 500+ CV’s I’ve received this week.
Digital marketing graduate Mr Bickerton will start his internship with Mr Bartlett in London in April, and wrote on LinkedIn: "Thank you so much for the opportunity Steven and I can’t wait to begin working with you!"
Speaking to BusinessLive, he added: "I honestly didn’t even expect a reply - I had 25 followers at the time, Steven has over 2m."
