After a lot of self realisation in my last post (my video), and probably one of the most in-depth email conversations with Claudia, I realised that the best place to start with work experience is a place that I have also previously worked at for a few days at the age of seventeen. It's publicly known as Vox Africa and is in Battersea Studios. I'm not going to lie when I previously worked there I didn't really take the role too serious - especially as I was mostly observing and not really that head strong in the part of journalism I wanted to go to.
However, it was enjoyable seeing people taking out their roles and reporting [.....]

Very relieved to have made the CV - especially through the numerous Cv surgeries that I was doing during uni - it's finally been made! Not amazing but let's see what OK! will have to see as I've just emailed it to them!
I'll be sure to post updates about my job opps too, but until then, I'm going to start posting vids/posts of general issues I would like to talk about! [.....]
so far I've mostly been attending loads of workshops and events, applied for an intern at c4 jobs, got rejected, (boo) but that's not stopping me! There's millions of opportunities out there waiting for me, so as soon as I get my CV done the better! [.....]

So sometime next week I wanna improve on my practical skills and randomly do some practical/active work. I want to confront a certain issue, interview people about it, editing the footage and posting it here! Sounds simple, but my editing skills are a bit weak so it's time to familiarise myself more with the video editing tools on my iTouch..this shall be interesting! So let's give it a week? [.....]
I love my family
I love pictures!
I love travelling/holidays/HEAT.
- I have the most amazing friends. As in, I sometimes ask myself why I'm so lucky! I've never had the type of friendship where I've lost a lot of trust in them. It takes me a while to trust people easily and to be honest, I'd rather have a handful of true friends than a bunch of associates
- I am an organised, clean, crazy freak! I like things neat and organised, my room is infested with post-its and my 2012 [.....]
Okay so my motto for 2012 is; "R.I.P Procrastination!" The updates need to be more and more fluent and believe me, its by force that this place will be looking spotless!
Right. So I'm looking for Journalism internship jobs (applied for about 2 so far) and realised that I don't have a frickin CV! If I've only done minimal things then how am I gunna come up with a CV!
Solution: when going to Kings College Uni for several work shops late last year, I found that Journalist CV's are the complete opposite of what I thought they'd be! Simply just list down contact details of where you've worked! o_O so I must start with a few unknown-not-so-amaze places before [.....]
Okay so this blog may not be 100% but I can guarantee that later on I won't be saying the same! I plan to do soo much work this year, signing up to loads of places, contacting all sorts of employers and I randomly started thinking of attending Summer schools for Journalism which will be exciting. Over the past couple of months I have actually come across people at Uni or have even just graduated and are even unsure of what they actually want to do, and to be honest that really does freak me out. I can't determine what goes on in my future but as for now I know this is the only profession that I [.....]
