If we had a dollar for every Facebook fan we have...

...we could rent the Jersey Shore house for a night

Let's not, though

Yep, we've reached a whopping 2,500 loyal fans on our official Facebook page, which is truly a huge surprise! It was only one month ago that we hit 1,500, so to gain more than a thousand new followers in such a short space of time puts a huge smile on our face!


This also means that one of our lucky fans will get their hands on an amazing new ION Twin Video Camera and Syma S107G RC helicopter as part of our long-running competition! We shall reveal the winner very soon, so watch this space!

It's all coming together...

We've been mega busy since the last time we spoke, so let us fill you in on all the cool stuff we've been working on!
Us being busy

The site is going under some pretty big changes at the moment as we're tweaking some stuff to give you, the user, an easier, faster and better experience overall.

Some things are being moved around, others are being revamped and there's some pretty cool new features coming very soon!

Though we're sticking with the same vacancy searching tool (it seems to be working!) we are adding a completely new area to the site, allowing you to filter all of the opportunities by location or sector, which should give you much better results and more refined job-hunting experience.

We're still working on it, but feel free to head over to our In My Area page, where you can find all of the most popular jobs in your region or city!

Our goal is to get you started on your career, but we'll need your help to do it! Be sure to let us know of anything you think may improve the process! Hit up our Contact Form or email us directly at admin@bigdog.co.uk.

BIGDOG TV coming soon!

Everyone knows that video killed the radio star but it seems to have worked out just fine for everything else! We're completely aware that you'd rather watch a short clip than read an essay, so what better way to do it than by launching our own channel?


That's right! BIGDOG TV is coming to a screen near you very soon! With BD:TV, you'll be able to keep up with all the freshest content from around the web, including funny virals, helpful careers tutorials, stupid clips, music videos, movie trailers and tons of other cool stuff! 

Check out What We're Watching and share just what inspires us, what makes us dance or what's tickling our ribs on that particular day. Plus, you'll be able to do it all from the comfort of our site!

For a sneak preview of BD:TV, check out our official YouTube channel and get a taste of what's to come! 

What? You didn't think it was a TV channel, did you?
