For years they’ve been there, nestling in the late night schedule. Those little programmes which advertise jobs to those who are either insomniacs or have set the video.
Where the Jobs Are
From 1984 comes this still from employment based programme, Where the Jobs Are - here presented by newsreader Roderick Griffith.
Joblink
From 2001, and produced in conjunction with the Job Centre, it’s Joblink.
The Joblink titles, and indeed the set and captions, are designed by the Employment Service and are designed to fit in with their corporate branding. Who came up with the incredibly cheesy title music is another question.
Newsreader and reporter Kim Inglis is in the Joblink chair with a rather garish chroma-key background. Once the programme gets going, the presenters name is removed from the Joblink caption.
