Sorry to see so many talented journalists being let go by various media companies. I've said it before and I'll repeat it til I die: Journalists are amazing people doing underappreciated (and misunderstood) work that we won't truly miss until it's gone. If you're hiring in PR and you see recently laid off journalists open to filling these roles, pounce on them. The writing will be spectacular. The work will be done quickly because deadlines are daily for reporters. You'll have someone who instantly and intimately understands what the press wants when it comes to earned media. Hire journalists for PR jobs! #journalism #publicrelations

We have a couple of journalist job vacancies here at Taylist towers. I advertised them on a well known national recruitment website and I am currently ploughing through OVER 200 applications. I am losing the will to live a bit, so here's some thoughts and tips for any potential job seekers... 1) Don't just mash the 'apply' button. 2) Read the advert. All the way through. To the end. Then decide if the job is for you and have another read of point (1). 3) Uploading a generic CV is good practice but if, after point (2), you decide you want the job, adapt it and highlight the most relevant parts. 4) If it has 'writer' in the job title and you're a screenwriter then see points (1) and (2) 5) If it has 'editor' in the job title and you're a video editor then see points (1) and (2) 6) If, after point (2), you decide you want the job but perhaps think your experience isn't enough then try and persuade me why you want it. Honestly, I'll read it. 7) Seriously, don't just mash the 'apply' button. It's not a numbers game. 8) If you're a recent graduate then I don't just want your CV as by the nature there's little experience on it. I want to know WHY you want this job in particular. For example, I appreciate no journalist dreams of writing about toilets but don't head your CV with 'Seeking jobs in fashion journalism'. 9) If you see a job ad you really want on a big recruitment site then don't apply through the site or at least contact the recruiter directly as a personal follow up. This tells them you've put a little bit of work in and will put you in the top 20% instantly. 10) Please, for the love of all things holy, don't use any templated messages, replies, CVs or cover letters that the site gives you options for. Trust me, 'Dear [INSERT NAME], I would like to apply for [INSERT JOB NAME].' is not going to endear you to me for a writing and journalism job. 11) To get in the top 10% instantly, also show them you've done a little bit of work researching the company you're applying for. Not a lot, just a few sentences make a big difference. 12) If you've done point (2) and actually completed the very short task asked of you then you'd go straight into the top 5%. If, after all that, you know anyone who wants to work on kbbreview or KBB Magazine then let me know...
