Jordan Symons, who is currently completing her A-levels, was nominated after her team won the Plymouth Your Hired competition last year.

The 17-year-old may now get to attend conferences in Washington DC and New York City.

The anti-bulling mentor was nominated after being named the city's Best Future Accountant.

Jordan, from Camels Head, is currently fundraising to put together the money to go on the trip and is in the midst of organising a concert through her school.

She is now appealing to local businesses to help her so she can attend the 10-day international conference, which includes seminars and sessions with guest speakers.

    “Having known a fair-few industrious girls from Devonport High School in my time, looks like they've stitched-up another under the guise of falsely promoting the line "in this day and age you have to pay for your own way in this world and whilst a grammar school education gets you so far without contacts (i.e. in one of our open societies of secrets) you are limited to your background and financial status". However, at a time when time could perhaps be better spent developing relationships or raising money for charity, the "Get Hired" fandango has effectively saddled the girl with £4k of debt which at job interview will sound like "I got a free holiday". As I remember correctly, accountants manage money and are incredibly trusted to do so given no other can read their language as well even though it is composed of both letters and numbers in spreadsheet. Personally I'd tell the "Get Hired" compo to check their digits and write to a company which trains accountants, in the hope of a more valid experience.”
