Phil Hurst presented this talk. He has been working in the industry for 25 years. His experience has been as a journalist for BBC Merseyside, working with an independent production company and working freelance. This talk started great and made me feel ambitious. The thought of putting my burning ambition into a job of the media made me excited, even when told it would be tough and challenging. I believe that the rewards outweigh the challenges. This proves how determined I am to succeed in my chosen industry. Phil highlighted that I would need to be multiskilled in order to really stand out. I know that i need to keep on learning and not get complacent with my skills. This talk also made me think that I should start looking at making my professional CV. In doing this it will help me to promote and market myself.
Again, it was drummed into us that work experience is vital in helping us to get a job. With the collective, I am getting a lot of hands on experience. However, I am going to try to get a placement with an established media company. This will all help me to get my name known and network. A degree in media is not necessary but certainly helps. In the current climate, I would need to show how skilled I am, so no room for modesty. I am glad that I am a confident woman and believe in myself as I think this could give me a competitive edge. This will help me strive and push through until I land the job I want.
