That is all from us. It is goodbye from me, and on | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look from me, and on BBC One, | :00:00. | :00:06. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: The | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
graduate told to hide her qualifications to improve her | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
chances of getting a job. I am doing everything I can and the | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
only response is to take Under a cloud. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
My degree off my CV. The town that may have to live with bad smells | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
until next summer. Campaigners fear a Grimsby swimming | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
pool may never reopen after asbestos is found at the site. ?? new line A | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
woman who's become known as The Bee Lady wins a national award after | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
raising thousands for charity. That important forecast follows in 15 | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
minutes. Good evening. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
An unemployed university graduate says she's been told to "dumb down" | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
her CV if she wants to find a job in Hull. Liza Fitzpatrick has a degree | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
from the city's university, but claims she was told by an employment | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
advisor that it would make her overqualified for most vacancies. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Her local MP Karl Turner has criticised the advice she was given | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and claims there's evidence of a "brain drain" in Hull. More from Tim | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Iredale. After leaving school with no | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
qualifications, Liza Fitzpatrick never expected to go to university. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
So when she became a student in later life and graduated from the | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
University of Hull, Ms Fitzpatrick thought it would give her a | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
much—needed leg—up on the career ladder. That was until she says an | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
adviser told her to remove any mention of her degree from her CV. | :01:44. | :01:55. | |
He claimed employers will look at my CV and say, she is over employed, we | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
will not take care on. Liza Fitzpatrick lives in the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Bransholme area of Hull. She graduated last year with degree in | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
social and community studies. She is looking for a job as a support | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
worker with formidable people. I have been applying for advertise | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
jobs. I am doing everything I can, and the advice is to take my degree | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
off my CV. I don't know where to turn what else to do. | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
Ms Fitzpatrick says she was advised about her CV by Work Solutions, an | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
organisation which helps the long—term unemployed. The company | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
said qualifications and degrees are achievements to be proud of, and | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
that they would never recommend the removal from a CV. However, they add | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
a CV should be focused clearly towards an industry sector or a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
vacancy that a candidate is applying for. I don't think it is appropriate | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
for her to be told to dumb down her CV. It creates a brain drain. People | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
want to go to their local university, get a good degree, great | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
qualifications, then find themselves having to leave the city because of | :03:12. | :03:24. | |
a lack of skilled jobs. This East Yorkshire—based | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
recruitment agency says job—seekers shouldn't have to hide their | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
qualifications. I have never come across anybody who says they do not | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
want to employ somebody because of their qualifications. Meanwhile, | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Liza Fitzpatrick remains on the hunt for work and is hopeful that she'll | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
find a vacancy to match her qualification. | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Apprentice finalist and enterprise champion | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Claire Young. I asked her what she thought of Liza being asked to | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
remove her degree from her CV. I think it's absolutely ridiculous | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
that somebody who has been to university, put the time and money | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
in, has been advised to remove her CV — — remove her degree from her | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
CV. People should be proud of their qualifications. She has and that | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
degree and should be proud of it. It is completely wrong. Presumably, you | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
can be other qualified for a job, so therefore dumb down and take it off. | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
That is a counterargument. There are a lot of people with degrees and not | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
a lot of jobs. You just have to turn on the TV, read a newspaper or | :04:42. | :04:54. | |
listen to the radio to see that. You cannot discriminate against somebody | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
because of qualifications. It is a free for all. You want to hire the | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
right person for the job. Can you be overqualified for a job? | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
I think some people would dismiss people straightaway if they are | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
overqualified. The fear that they will walk into the job, stay a few | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
weeks and then me far better job. I think that is the fear. So people | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
can be overqualified. People want a job and they do want to work. If | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
they want to clean floors or stack shelves and they have a degree, they | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
just want to get to work. There has been a big response on this. Ian | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
says, it just goes to show a degree is not worth the paper it is written | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
on. I think that is a flippant comment. I think lots of | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
degrees are worth the paper they are written on, such as the doctors we | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
see and the vets who fix however — — the vets who fix our pets and the | :06:00. | :06:14. | |
accountant who helps businesses. To search all degrees are not worth the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
paper they are written on, I think that is extreme. Thank you for your | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
time. We'd love to hear your views on this | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
story. Should Liza have to dumb down her CV and take out some of her | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
qualifications if it means she then has a better chance of finding work | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
in Hull? Or should she let potential employers know all her | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
qualifications? If anyone might be able to help as a | :06:32. | :07:20. | |
mental, get in touch. — — mentor. People living in Beverley have been | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
told they'll have to suffer bad smells from the town's water | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
treatment works for the foreseeable future. Yorkshire Water have | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
apologised for the increased odours from the site but say it'll be at | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
least nine months before an investigation can begin. And it'll | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
be next year before they can start to solve the problem. Sarah Corker | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
reports. It is a pleasant, picturesque place | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
to live in the East Riding, but it seems in Beverly, there is something | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
in the air. Sometimes it's not very sickly. Sewage, eggs, I don't know | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
what it is. It is the smell of sewage. The toilets now. That's now | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
emanates from the town 's sewage works. Those living nearby say that | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
at times, it is unbearable. It is very depressing. It is ongoing and | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
relentless. To odour control unit already operate 24 hours a day. This | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
serves a population of around 47,000 people in and around the Beverley | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
area. Every day, it treats lots of sewage. Yorkshire water has spent | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
millions to upgrade the sites to curb growing demand. They are | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
beginning an investigative study early next year. Once we have | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
carried that out, we will be in a position to say what we intend to do | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
to improve the site. Beverley 's population is growing, putting more | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
pressure on the system. We are going to have another 3000 people, near | :08:56. | :09:08. | |
enough. This need sorting now. Can this site cope with the number of | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
people in this area? Yes. It is working and operating well. | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
Elsewhere in East Yorkshire, the smell has played people in Hebden | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
for years. At this resource, people said the smell is putting off | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
visitors. Back in Beverley, they're using delicate ways of masking the | :09:35. | :09:46. | |
odour. A short—term fix while Yorkshire water work on a more | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
permanent solution. We will continue to follow that story. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Swimmers in Grimsby have been told that the town's main swimming pool | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
will remain closed until further notice after asbestos was found in | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
the building. It was initially thought work to clear it would take | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
only a few days, but North East Lincolnshire Council who own the | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
pool say they don't know when it will re—open. It comes as nearby | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Cleethorpes Pool is also closed at the moment. Phil Norton is in | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
Grimsby this evening. Why will it take so long to reopen this pool? | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
Well, it is because of this doors have been closed for almost | :10:25. | :10:37. | |
two weeks after this asbestos dust was found in the main swimming pool. | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
The council say the specialist clean—up is taking place, and it is | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
closed indefinitely until the results of special test are known. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Campaigners have been telling me there have been campaigning against | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
the closure of this pool. It is earmarked for closure and demolition | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
in the next few years, to be replaced by smaller, new | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
facilities. Campaigners say they fear these doors may never open | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
again. Personally, I believe this is what they consider to be a step | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
towards closure. I sincerely hope the rest of the town and everyone | :11:18. | :11:30. | |
stands up and speaks out. North East Lincolnshire Council say this | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
closure is precautionary, and say it follows an asbestos survey. It says | :11:34. | :11:43. | |
the cleaning has been completed but it is waiting for the all clear | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
before it can reopen. I do sympathise with the views of people | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
who are passionate about the facility. On behalf of the council, | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
we are sorry. We put health and safety as a top priority. The | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
important thing is to get those results. Campaigners have told me it | :12:09. | :12:24. | |
has thrown leisure facilities across Lincolnshire into disarray. They say | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
it is putting more pressure on other facilities in the area. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
Thank you. The Prime Minister has told | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
delegates at the Conservative Party Conference that the Humber should | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
become a centre for green energy. Plans for a wind turbine factory in | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Hull were proposed in 2010 but the company behind them, Siemens, has | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
not yet committed itself to the deal. David Cameron said the British | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
economy had been too focused on London for too long. Think what more | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
we could do with the Pistons fire ring in all parts of the economy. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Let's make the Humber the centre of clean energy. Let's make Blackpool | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
the centre of Europe for the shale gas industry. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
A woman accused of hiring a hit man to kill her husband is set to face a | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
re—trial. A jury at Hull Crown Court failed to reach a verdict on whether | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Lisa Fairpo, seen here in the blue hoody, was guilty of conspiracy to | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
commit murder. Prosecutors say they've contacted the court to seek | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
a re—trial because the case is in the public interest. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
The Trust which runs hospitals in Lincolnshire says there's no | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
decision on the future of out—of—hours emergency care at | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Grantham Hospital despite concerns that it maybe cut. The chairman of | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Lincolnshire County Council says he's worried that a review of how | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
health care is town's accident and emergency unit | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
will close overnight. But United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust says | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
they're investing in health care in the county and no decisions have | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
been made. You are | :13:48. | :14:03. | |
maternity has gone and the out of hours. It is a good hospital, and it | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
is a shame they keep putting it bit by bit. They ought to look after it | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
and not reduce it. It would be not good if they did so. Thank you for | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
watching. Still ahead tonight: How 11 newts are holding up development | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
of an East Yorkshire nature reserve. ?? new line She's known as the Bee | :14:32. | :14:36. | |

Sunrise over the Humber Oil refinery at Immingham taken by Lee Wilson. | :14:46. | :14:58. | |
Thank you very much indeed. It made me laugh when I saw you pop—up. I | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
thought this will be good, because you have been in a class. | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
My course was in spoken English as well. | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
I should have come with you. I am gone to watch carefully to see | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
if the course was worth investing in. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Peter, it is always accurate, you know that. After great start, it | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
will turn brighter. We are expecting evening rain. It could be | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
particularly heavy, courtesy of this very active weather fronts which | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
will push through tomorrow evening and night. The good news yet again | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
is that the weekend is looking to write with sunshine I think much of | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
next week will be fine and quite one for October. Something to look | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
forward to. You can see on the satellite picture, still a lot of | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
cloud out there. I think for many, it is a dry and mild night for early | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
October. Lowest temperatures down to 13 or 14. The sun will rise at | :16:16. | :16:29. | |
7:06am. Perhaps a damp start in places. Thicker cloud threatens in | :16:30. | :16:52. | |
the afternoon. Quite windy, especially later along the coast. | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Friday, sunny spells and scattered showers and a lovely weekend to | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
follow. That's the forecast. Bari said, we no longer see | :16:58. | :17:11. | |
barometric pressure charts. We do, because I use them every | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
night. Are you sure? | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
I am positive. What is wrong with him, then? Don't | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
answer that. I am holding back a response. | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
I know, that is why I said don't. Watch more politely tomorrow, Barry. | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
That is the polite way. A growing number of young people in | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
Lincolnshire who are being bullied are using a new online counselling | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
service rather than talking about their problems face to face. The new | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
service has seen the number of users double since it began in March. | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
Leanne Brown reports. They should have been the best years | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
of her life, but Katie from Market Deeping says her final days at | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
school left her depressed and lonely. It started through Facebook. | :18:04. | :18:23. | |
People would put comments on. What sort of things were they saying? | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
Things like, go and die, you are fat, nobody likes you, your family | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
hates you. Comments that made me feel that I hated myself as it felt | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
like everybody else hated me. Katy welcomes Lincolnshire County | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Council's online counselling service which they've commisioned for 11—25 | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
year olds. Young people can talk about anything that's troubling | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
them, and it's available out— of—hours — 365 days a year. So far, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
more than 80% of users said they prefer online counselling more than | :18:52. | :19:03. | |
face—to—face. You can instantly access qualified counsellors, who | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
are at the other end. You can have dropping chats with those | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
councillors or have upped sessions with them. Young people like having | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
that use of technology, so we have to make sure the services we provide | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
move with the times as well. Teachers say in the last few years | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
there has been a surge of youngesters using the internet. They | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
welcome anything that could prevent a repeat of what happened to | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
14—year—old Hannah Smith, who took her own life after being bullied on | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
Ask FM. Bullying used to be just at school, in school. Now, of course it | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
is anything to do with new technology. It might be Facebook, on | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
instant messages, on phones. It is also on the major games, where they | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
get headsets on. Any situation where the children who do not know where | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
they are talking to. Here at Caistor Yarborough School | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
they have anti—bullying ambassadors and drop—in sessions. But if | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
students don't want to talk face—to—face, they can now do it | :20:02. | :20:13. | |
online. Thanks to everybody who got in touch with us about the teaching | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
strike yesterday. One of the region's biggest teaching | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
unions has not ruled out further strikes. Around 250 schools in East | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire were affected by yesterday's industrial | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
action, which was widely condemned by the Government. | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
There has been a very big response to this story. | :20:28. | :20:48. | |
Thank you for the many messages. We read and listen to them all. The | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
development of the visitor centre at Bempton Cliffs near Bridlington will | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
cost £1 million and work was due to start this autumn. But it's been | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
held up by a rather unusual discovery—a handful of Great Crested | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Newts, which are protected by European law. Amy Cole has been to | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
find out more. It is stopping you from doing any | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
redevelopment? It has delayed an aspect of the project. Scott is | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
talking about the great crested newt, a species that has recently | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
been found at the nature reserve. What is the problem with them being | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
here? They are protected under European law. Any development which | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
takes place, we have to make sure they are safe. Just over there is | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
our overflow car park. With it being so close to the pond, it has delayed | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
things. Is frustrating? Not at all. It is fantastic. The building of a | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
major new shopping centre in York will not now open in time for | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Christmas, but has been pushed back to next Easter, and in Durham, work | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
on a new police headquarters has been halted. Back in Pemberton, | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
there is a lot to do, including fencing of the areas earmarked for | :22:16. | :22:30. | |
construction — — backing Bempton. We will release the newts outside the | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
fence in a safe area with a new improved habitat. When the | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
contractors come on site next autumn, we will know their rhino | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
newts to be injured, damaged or even killed. More than half of the | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
development has come from the Heritage lottery fund, which has | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
been told why, and usually that money cannot yet be spent. ?? new | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
line You all remember this lady. Jean Bishop is also known as the Bee | :22:57. | :23:11. | |
Lady from Hull. She raises thousands of pounds for charity and now she's | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
won a top national award. Jean's been named as a winner at the Pride | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
of Britain Awards and will appear on National TV next week. Jo Makel has | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
been to meet her. ?? new line Jean Bishop has been an inspiration in | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
this area for some time now. But now it seems she's being recognised as a | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
national treasure too. The 91—year—old has raised more than | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
£90,000 for charity. She knew she'd been nominated for a Pride of | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Britain Award. But while she was filming in London ahead of next | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
week's ceremony, she got a surprise visitor. I started to look up and I | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
came up to his chest. I thought, back is a cheek, he's pinching my | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
patch. He is really kind. He explained I had won the award. I am | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
very proud of it, yes. Last year, Jean was an Olympic torch bearer. | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
She is also met the Queen. Those who have benefitted from her charity | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
work say she deserves the recognition. To actually raise | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
nearly £100,000 over 20 years is phenomenal. And just the way she has | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
done it. It is has just been about her, dressing up and going out | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
talking to people and collecting funds. She is such a lovely person, | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
everybody loves her. Jean and her family will be at the | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
awards ceremony. Although for the lady who loves dressing up, choosing | :24:40. | :24:51. | |
an outfit is proving a challenge. Fantastic story. Well deserved. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
The Prime Minister tells the Conservative Party Conference that | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
he may cut benefits for the under—25s. The graduate told to hide | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
her qualifications on her CV. On the subject of hiding | :25:10. | :25:28. | |
qualifications, Jay says, this does not surprise me, employers and | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
recruiters in Hull do not seem to be able to grasp the value of having a | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
degree, it is extremely infuriating for those who have the skills but | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
cannot find the work. Tony says, when I employ staff, I took the view | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
that if anybody needs that much extra education, there were not good | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
enough for my company, the CV is with degrees went in the bin. Susan | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
said, this happened to my son, he was told to remove his university | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
placement degree and embellish his job at McDonald's. The response on | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
this. Alan said, the advice to leave a degree of the CV can be good | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
advice, because many employers will not take you on if they think you | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
are looking for a stopgap job. Sue says, no, we shouldn't dumb down, if | :26:14. | :26:25. | |
you have got it, flaunt it, it is absolutely upper limb. John Lyon the | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
radio tomorrow if you can. Goodbye. | :26:28. | :26:29. |
