JOB OF THE WEEK 🚨⤵️ Podcast Producer, The Rest Is Money - Goalhanger www.themediamentor.info/post/latest-...

The thought of moving to the other side of the world to study and try and break into media is so intimidating to me - but on this week's podcast I speak to someone who did exactly that. Robin talks about the advice I gave after his MA and how that changed his CV open.spotify.com/episode/2BHp...

This is such a lovely episode of the podcast Robin came to me for guidance in 2020 having moved from China to work in UK media His passion for radio was wonderful to see and still shines bright today. He's worked so hard to have a great career already podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

The big internships and schemes have opened again - including BBC appretinceships in journalism. There are also opportunities at The Telegraph, News UK, Deutsche Welle and NBC Universal #mediajobs Find them all here: www.themediamentor.info/post/graduat...

Job postings increase in early autumn - and the web pages show that. Dozens of roles added on Monday and at the weekend. So head there for browsing or the WhatsApp channel to get them as I find them. www.onrec.com/news/statist...

More jobs added to the web pages and WhatsApp channel today. Some fab new listings in TV 🚨🆕⤵️ Senior News Editor, BBC Weather - BBC News Editing Media Manager, Good Morning Britain - ITN Producer, Channel 4 News (x3) - ITN Production Journalist - ITV Meridian Link in thread #mediajobs

I love this episode of the podcast because it shows that recruitment doesn't always have to be rubbish. When I say rubbish, I mean bad for the company and for those applying. The process is flawed and needs changing. And Aegon has recognised that. Find out how podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Some fab new jobs added to the website. Just dropped is an Assistant Producer with the excellent team at BBC Audio North: Plus a Studio Executive, Audio - Penguin Random House UK Find them all here ⤵️ www.themediamentor.info/post/latest-...

As ever @mattwalshjourno.bsky.social is excellent on this BBC survey. The major issue comes from those that engage with the survey - and surveys generally - or do not engage. This does not tell you the full picture. Far from it. www.journalism.co.uk/news/bbc-pub...

Media has its own 'trends' - in terms of recruitment. But encouraging to hear that recruiters feel the 'trickle' of new job listings will turn into a 'river' soon. www.personneltoday.com/hr/jobs-mark...

There were more than 50 #mediajobs added to the pages today. Plus dozens more across the last week. The pages have been checked for expired links too. If you need help with applications get in touch www.themediamentor.info/blog/categor...

"Do the basics well. Keep job adverts simple and use normal language. Include salaries. Everyone deserves to be paid fairly" Some fabulous insight on this week's episode of the MM podcast It also offers hope that some companies care about recruitment www.themediamentor.info/podcast

Lower Street says its new 'video podcast' platform is about going beyond simply adding cameras to an audio show So basically it's video not podcast The sooner we're clear that you can't make video without comprimising the magic of pure audio, the better podnews.net/press-releas...

Really good piece on AI and podcasting. I've been using Adobe's Podcast Enhancer for sound correction - and it is very good. Use AI for the tasks it's trained properly to do and do well podnews.net/article/peop...

"Automation is also impacting recruitment, with many entry-level tasks now handled by AI" As you will hear on this week's podcast - automation does not always equal efficiency #mediajobs www.personneltoday.com/hr/london-jo...

I'm not quite sure why this organisation has an advert out for a 'volunteer' position in social media and comms that asks for a minimum of 5 years experience If you want experience PAY THEM This is not the job link as I won't be adding it to the pages neuromarketinginstitut.com/eng/

As many as 70 percent of #mediajobs are not advertised. For freelance opportunities that figure is probably 90 percent

Just been alerted to this consultation - which I had missed. It covers late payments to freelancers, something I would guess you all have experienced if you have worked self-employed in media like me for several years www.gov.uk/government/c...

Reuters getting a lot of mentions on news channels covering this huge day It's worth remembering its brilliant work through some of the toughest times It's two years since Issam Abdallah was killed in southern Lebanon - which underlines the 'risks' taken to cover this story

Good morning. A reminder that the daily feed of #mediajobs has been stopped. Instead there's the WhatsApp channel for jobs as they drop and the website collates all the opportunities across six pages www.themediamentor.info/blog/categor...

On the latest podcast I talk to Rhys Gunter about landing shifts whilst still studying, working with high profile talent at a young age and his decision to go to Australia - where he's been working on an award winning true-crime podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Interested to see this research suggesting that podcast listening (in the US) is greatest in the middle of the day - not at 'breakfast' as previously stated www.edisonresearch.com/what-time-do...

"You’ve been a massive help to me, including making improvements to my CV and preparing me for interviews." Lovely message from a client today after landing a full-time job. It's made my week because this person has tried so hard over the last six months to crack it #mediajobs

Listening to music whilst adding jobs to the channel & web pages & reminded by a Guns N' Roses cracker of a 'texter' I did about 5 times on different radio shows. "Pick your fave song with whistling in" What G'N'R song was it? (And yes it's good I'm not on the radio anymore!)

Delighted to feature the @cmnetwork.bsky.social on my latest podcast episode. Luca Hussain discussed with me the challenges of breaking the class ceiling in media - and why it is so damaging open.spotify.com/episode/6psH...

Have added 'agile' to this list today 🙄🙄 www.themediamentor.info/post/job-adv...

I have a cover letter template I give clients but there's one key thing people do wrong and that's talk about how much they want to work for the company Instead make it about what you can bring AND what you know about them - and why you're the right fit www.themediamentor.info/post/the-art...

Very best 1st October wishes. The job market is still in a bit of a slump according to the research BUT I have noticed quite a few more #mediajobs this week and last. It's the second busiest time of year so keep an eye on my WhatsApp channel and website www.themediamentor.info/blog/categor...

On this week's podcast I have a reminder about never paying a radio station for training and the right to have a show. There are some reasons why small fees might be asked for BUT do not pay large sums. Hear more on this episode 🎧⤵️ open.spotify.com/episode/6TDY...

You don't need to put referees on your CV If the company needs references during the application process they will ask for them It saves space to lose them from your CV and allows you to choose the best people when offered a job

Vacancy: Freelance sports editors at The Media Bunker ⤵️ #mediajobs

Had some teaching in the summer where the feedback from students was overwhlemingly a lack of trust for traditional news platforms. It's sad to hear So on #WorldNewsDay it's important to remember that proper journalism and an ambition to get to the truth is very much needed.

Huge headphones, bad and unflattering camera angles - and often poor sound quality. All in the pursuit of podcasts getting more clicks online through video. Going to sound old and grumpy here - but if you want to make your podcast visual (and thus a video or TV) do it properly!

Happy Friday. The latest episode of the podcast is out and it's a great one if you have an interest in radio. I answer questions about getting into the industry and where radio in the UK is heading. Listen here 🎧⤵️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... open.spotify.com/episode/6TDY...

I hate seeing 'self-starter' in a job specification - because it just doesn't really mean anything. Or does it? Find out what those job cliches really tell you here www.themediamentor.info/post/job-adv...
