Looking for a job in the media

If you dream of being a football reporter, a radio DJ or a television presenter then you’ll need a break into the media – one of the most competitive industries in which to find a job.

It is ultra-competitive thanks to a steady stream of graduates leaving universities every year, complete with media degrees and dreams of becoming a household name.

A few simple tips can help in you find a job – ensure your CV is fault-free grammatically, be prepared to start at the bottom and understand that work will run into your free time.

Another tip is to undertake work experience in a field that interests you and many of the country’s top publishers offer such schemes.
