JobSeeker Jez Heywood has received an offer for a freelance graphic design job.

Ben, the owner of a graphic design company, contacted Jez after reading his story in the newspaper, and they have been in conversation since yesterday.

Caller Ben expressed how Jez’s story made him reflect on the challenges of being on unemployment benefits and the associated stigma.

It is uncertain whether Jez will take the job.

Ben Fordham commended the graphic design owner, saying “Good on you for reaching out to him and giving him that go”.
