Meet Aftab

A long-time user of VisualCV, Aftab is an ambitious and dedicated journalist, columnist, and editor who works for a major national newspaper in Glasgow, Scotland. Before he became a permanent employee of this newspaper, he worked freelance as an editor and current affairs columnist for online news sources. He works passionately and independently, placing a high value on hard work and self-reliance.

The Challenge

As a freelancer, Aftab was continuously on the lookout for new jobs and contracts.
