| Peeps, the job papers are BARE. Looks like
the only way I can feasibly work in media in the next year is to get a
job in.. *puke*... Media Sales. To be honest it might be a lovely job.
I'm not completely sure what it entails. But it sounds like cradling a
phone under your ear for six months, listening to ad agents remind you
that it's a very difficult financial position, and no they're not keen
to spend their cash on adverts in your publication, thanksverymuch.
List of things you can work as during the credit crunch: - Media sales executive
- Kibbutzer - agricultural work, darning socks, looking after kibbutzettes (little kibbutzers)
- Start up a business selling home-made draft-excluders out of newspaper and old pairs of tights
- Publish an 'under-a-fiver' recipe book. Actually, this is rather
old hat - other possible titles may include, 'baking with tinned
goods', '101 ways with lentils', 'toast for dinner again! yay!'.
- Insolvency Consultant, Mainly Working In The Field. I.e., bailiff. Must bring own bovver boots and cold dead heart.
- Financial journo. Say what you like, as a lot of people probably
still think that they won't be affected by the recession. Also, may
become National Credit Crush, à la Robert Peston.
 - Housing, career or financial advisor: advise those bearing the brunt of the economic crisis, and thus save your own interests
All in all, I can't say that the recession looks like fun for
anyone. Graduates are surprisingly well-placed in the grand scheme of
things. Few of us own property, few have dependants and most are
welcome to live in and work from their parents' place. Employment-wise,
we've got degrees - and if we can't find work, we're in a good position
to reconsider postgrad study. I don't have a lot to complain about
today. In fact, I'd rather be a media sales exec than sign on.
On that note; signing off... |
