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.

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 [.....]
