Yahoo!

Christine has worked at Yahoo twice: as an intern on the BT Yahoo homepage featuring stories including the Beslan siege, the deadly hurricanes in Florida and the Olympic games.

In late 2006 she joined the out-of-hours homepage team for both the BT Yahoo and the Yahoo UK & Ireland homepages. Working to strict character limits and timescales, this is where Christine’s copy skills were sharpened.

Warren Chrismas, Editor for Yahoo! UK & Ireland says: “Christine was part of the out-of-hours team responsible for updating the editorial content on the front pages of two of the UK’s busiest websites, Yahoo! and BT Yahoo!.

“The job is extremely demanding, requiring first-class copywriting skills, creativity, accuracy and more, all tested in a live environment. We set extremely high standards – and Christine surpassed them. She showed a good understanding of users, and was adept at absorbing information and following complex instructions. I’d have no hesitation in employing Christine again, or recommending her to others.”
