I recently applied for a graduate trainee scheme at a television production company. I received a call back explaining they were viewing my application and wanted to arrange a telephone interview. So, after arranging a time and date, I then realised that I have never had a telephone interview...

I have good news readers! There are still some jobs out there for graduates! After sending off my CV to numerous production companies, I got a call last week from one asking me to come in for an interview. So I hopped straight on the train to London and took my suit to the dry cleaners! I suppose I...

After sending off my CV to about 20 different television production companies, ranging from big names such as Channel 4 to smaller independent companies such as Wall to Wall productions, I got a call last week asking me to come to an interview! It was for an entertainment media production company,...

I need you to commit. I need you to realise that we need something new. I think we need a new agenda.

Hello, hello, my name is Natalie and this is a blog on the problems and possibilities for graduates hoping to forge a career in media.

The development of 'citizen journalism' and use of user-generated content (UGC) has led some to speculate that journalists are now redundant: Why pay someone to do what others will provide for free? The counter-argument is the Wikipedia effect: Joe Public can write whatever he wants, and you get a...

I have just returned from three weeks of work experience with three very different news organisations. One, INS News, was a regional news agency. The second was a daily local paper, the Reading Evening Post. The final one was a weekly local paper, the Gainsborough Standard. I have spent well over...

If you are a "Blue Ocean Strategy" person, should you try to find a banking job in the Greater China region? The obvious answer is yes. The power of China can be felt in the G20. Everyone seems to be waiting for China's $2 trillion foreign exchange reserves. The Asian Development Bank pegs...

Whilst some finance gurus may be worrying about their jobs in the current climate, people with a specific background may actually have increased opportunities to get into finance. In a steadily growing market, the route to get in VCs or PEs seems quite clear-cut. You can be an analyst in an...
NY Wang:
A general mistake made by some interviewees is to use the wrong tone in their answers. For example, a line such as "I want to learn something" is much better than saying "I know something." Imagine that you have worked in the industry for 25 years, you would hardly agree that the interviewee with...

This recession will probably be longer and be slower to recover than all the other recessions in the past 50 years. Despite widespread pessimism this is actually good news. This recession is especially painful for two reasons: it related to a financial crisis and it is synchronised across many...

Let me know if this sound's like your situation. You worked at a place for a few years. It's an OK job but not very stimulating. You decide to go to business school but you don't have enough money. You continue working at that job for another year so you can save enough to pay for part of the...

In the job hunting world, networking is treated like the cure-all to job searching problems. Here are some of the "statistics" on networking I found: 90% of jobs are not advertised. 65% to 90% of jobs are filled by networking. Networking is the best way to find a job. Talking to people working in...

Let’s face it. After 8 years of Rick Wagoner’s management, GM is definitely worse than it was before. The roots to this terrible outcome cannot be related just to the economy downturn that is affecting the car markets. The lack of vision toward the customer’s needs is the main issue for what...

Recently the ECB reduced the Interest rate (Interest rate on the main refinancing operations that provide the bulk of liquidity to the banking system) from 1.5% to 1.25%. Even if the economist had forecasted a 'to 1%', the market reaction in the (Eur/Usd) was almost flat, hence the traders were...

There is good news on campus. True, our class employment report is still 10-15% behind that of the class of 2008 ... but many of my classmates that hadn't found a job yet are eventually getting offers. During this late recruiting term (of early May) companies are back for recruiting. So, is it the...

Ah, Paris. So, I got into work at about half-past nine - not that anyone's here to check up on me. Then I chatted to the other intern,Charlotte, about whether she's going to get a job as a chalet girl when her stage is over. As we're chatting, her boss and her boss's boss walk by on the way out to...

I have a confession to make. I went to see 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic'. Worse, I think I enjoyed it. I have to give you a bit of context on this: I met up with other interns and we wanted to go to the cinema, and we wanted a comedy. It was on Saturday afternoon, and, well, this was the pick. But...

If you're an Arts graduate - especially one with an English degree - I recommend writing copy.

You can work all day in your PJs, which many...
