Like applying for any kind of job, except this job defines what you want to do/where you want to be after graduating
Cover letter after cover letter
Consideration to rejection
It definitely isn't easy - it's a stepping stone. The best way to get through the stressful process of applying for grad jobs, is to congratulate yourself! You're doing this on your own accord and as much as how painful and irritating the process can be, there will be an amazing result.
Believe me!
The future is ours. [.....]

I enjoy writing for ONIN London still. Even though the TV side of journalism is my main focus at the moment, a bit of writing on the side never hurt anybody. :)

A large majority of the universities I'm surrounded by offer journalism degrees - even mine! Awesome if you want to be a journalist right? Numerous topics are covered in order for one to gain the basic knowledge and understanding of journalism which is great, but depending on where exactly you are and what you know, I'd say it would be risky to leave college going straight into university with no journalism experience or pre-knowledge. Why? Because it will only ever turn out in two different ways:
1) You will study the degree, enjoy it, learn a lot, gain a lot of practicality skills and probably have a lot of deadlines to deal with. But what about the work [.....]
I lay here in bed at 00:38am and start to become a little frightened. I'm itching with excitement and anxiousness and optimism to begin my life - my career. But what about all of the "what if?"'s?
I guess when you're mad passionately in love with a dream and can't wait to accomplish it, there's no such thing as a what if scenario. You go and get it, even if it takes years of blood, sweat and tears. I'm ready for it.
A really beautiful quote [.....]
Towards the end of my summer, I had thought about writing a self-help, personalised kind of article about a few of the things I genuinely enjoy doing...going on holiday! It was most certainly the longest article I have written but I really enjoyed writing it nonetheless.
Rather than wondering what kind of feedback I would get from my readers as I would with my other articles, this article was just a way of letting a reader see me as Hannah, just a student that [.....]
I enjoy regularly going to University scheme events, and on Saturday 12th October 2013, I experienced something a lot more different - different countries, accents, and bigger and better opportunities.
I thought The World Grad School Tour would be like any other post-uni graduate event, but speaking to institutions such as The University of Hawaii, about funding in MA Media & Communications completely eradicated the surreal feeling. Now, I'm not necessarily saying I'm definitely planning on studying a masters beside palm trees and beaches (getting work done would be impossible), but [.....]

Following on from the graduate fair that I went to earlier on in June, I kept contact with News International, another incredible place I could potentially land in after graduating. I was invited to their workshop on Friday 23rd August 2013, and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I thought it would be like any other workshop, where we'd be given loads of advice and tips on how to reach each of our journalism goals. This was nothing like that! [.....]
It was lovely officially meeting a large number of the OnIn London team! As one of the publications I write for, it's so great to see how we are constantly growing to give lovely Londoners the best news, updates, reviews, advice, lifestyle tips, and more.
We all come from different backgrounds, and have so many ideas to bring to the table. No team is better than a team with diversity. I look forward to the future outings and lovely conversations that I had on this very enjoyable [.....]
Versatility is what it's all about - as I move upwards in the journalism ladder, many of the skills I hope to obtain can literally come from anywhere. The funny thing about this article that was published last week by Blirt Magazine, was that I had no clue I'd be writing it - it was based on an issue that had shockingly hit home. A friend was in need and I became a part of her voice through this article in opposition to the laws and regulations of another country...5000 miles away!
I did mad research on China and had some knowledge of it whilst studying Media for a-levels. It was a very urgent message that needed to be [.....]
I finally plucked up the courage to make my very own Facebook page! It was a long time coming and a real confidence boost coming from my fellow peers. The reception I received was so lovely and warming and pushed me further to really get myself out there! My optimism is at an all-time high and the only way is up from here.
A few shots of my Facebook page:

Started my new office job over a month ago (purely for financial reasons). I've also been really brushing up a lot on my very own Facebook page! I was so nervous to do it and wasn't entirely sure on the kind of response I'd get - 100 likes in less than 2 weeks was a massive surprise! It puts so much joy in my heart knowing that people support my dreams and aspirations.
I have a few posts coming up shortly after this so I'm going to put on this blog (cheeky little self reminder)- snippets and links to my Facebook page- my most recent article that was published via Blirt Magazine this week- a lovely outing and meet [.....]

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!
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 [.....]

Second year of university is over. It's officially my Summer holiday, and I can fully enjoy and focus on going on holidays <3, napping, spending most of my time freely, but most importantly; STAYING PRODUCTIVE.
It's funny how many would only relate productivity with schoolwork and assignments.
No, no, and no. We need to constantly drive for our ambition and work at it; this free time should purely be spent on self achievements and doing things that make you happy. Never be lazy! I [.....]
The sequel that is famously known as Fast and Furious 6 is an incredible action movie which featured my actor brother David Ajala, and is probably the best one out!
ONIN knew it would be a great opportunity for me to promote it on a personal view, and I had the privilege of getting pre-viewing tickets before the release date! Epic!

Sooo I've also been lucky enough to work for a fabulous online review organisation called ONIN London. It's a very easy and approachable way to read about the latest events, places to visit, and reviews from many Lovely Londoners like myself! :-)
Very great team that I get along with very well. I like the fact that I can construct my own ideas on the type of media I can publish through onin, and it just fits very well with the theme of the publication

On Monday 19th April, I was incredibly lucky to become a part of a graduate scheme taking place in the tremendous News International Organisation, based in Wapping (such a gorgeous part of London).
The stunning view
News International is owned by the genius that is Rupert Murdoch, and also runs one of my favourite publications being The Sunday Times. Entering the building and even having my name down on a list that I had to mention at reception was an honor. I really [.....]
On Friday 5th April, I attended an amazing journalism conference at London school of economics based in Holborn
It was really great hearing from journalists and their knowledge of the industry, as discussing in depth about what their job mainly entails
The key speakers were excellent! I was especially intrigued into the role of a spokesperson and multimedia journalist from Bloomberg news - Marianne Bouchart, as she showed us how she inputs HTML and all the technological stuff!
I love attending these sort of events [.....]
