| Whilst looking for work experience and jobs, I have been increasingly aware of the changing face of media. Everything is becoming multimedia, digital, online etc. etc. This was made even more emphatic by the furore over police tactics following the death of Ian Tomlinson. The mystery surrounding this tragedy would never have been revealed had The Guardian not put the video onto their website.
New media has become an integral part of our lives and expanding companies are generally attempting to encompass this.
So, I am trying to focus on this area in my job search. This is the up and coming market and it could be where the jobs lie during the gloomy recession. I am making sure my CV incorporates knowledge of this developing sector and tailoring my cover letters to do likewise. For instance, experience in uploading graphic and/or video content, any relevant software experience like Photoshop or Dreamweaver, even experience with new mobile technologies like the iPhone and iPod Touch. New Media seems to span all job sectors. I am ensuring my CVs and Cover Letters are relevant to this ever increasing industry.
