Storytellers are journalists. Treat your career and academic life narrative like any other when the time comes to share it. Similar to the lead in a tale, begin your resume with the information you wish to emphasize. It could be a current course or an internship from years past that relates to the position you’re applying for. Take the lead if you are fresh out of school and that is the important thing. Get right to the point. She added that a resume should demonstrate your writing skills to a prospective employer and be as captivating and clear as your story. You need inspiration to pursue a career in reporting and writing. The worst thing you can do at an interview is to not demonstrate enough interest in the position. Her helpful tip is to correctly name the newspaper. Variety should not be referred to as The Hollywood Reporter. Additionally, prepare your interviewer’s questions. Go through a couple of the published stories. After starting work, remember to “put the hand up for assignments.” However, she advised those joining the field to look for equilibrium. Don’t work past your lunch break or overtime. Take advantage of all these breaks; they will help you recharge and perform better when you return. Make contact with respected journalists you’d like to work with in the future.
