Seriously. I love going to these events. They're so refreshing. Constantly gaining more contacts, speaking to more people and expressing your ambition to the people that can help!
I liked this slide in particular. Why should we feel shy when talking about our skills to employers? We worked hard to gain these skills, it could have been a struggle to adapt to these skills, so why not be proud of them and show them off a little!
In order to get any job on this planet, you need to show the right attitude and characteristics to your future employer. Confidence is everything and as a journalist, people skills was a characteristic that only had to become natural to me - it was (and is) a necessity
It was good. Obviously, me being the eager budding journo, I only set eyes on the stands that were media related. And I stumbled across a News Associates stand where I spoke to a lovely lady about the main content of the 20 week course, what it offers, and how great the chances are of receiving a job after completing the course. This conversation reminded me a lot of when I went to the spring graduate fair at senate house in April this year. Both courses are NCTJ qualified. What course is more suitable for myself though? Time to dig a little deeper and do research on this.
It really does put a smile on my face knowing that I'm 95% decisive of what I want to go once I graduate and I'm already working towards that :-)
I also forgot to mention that I've been offered a place at the National Council For the Training of Journalists next year!
Keep 'em coming. God is too great.
And alsooo, below are a few pics I took at the London graduate fair, which took place in Angel, in the business design centre, on Thursday 20th June.
Overall, an awesome day!
