Do these problems apply to you?

  •  You keep on getting rejection after rejection when you apply for jobs
  •  You're losing confidence in your ability to land a properly paid journalist position
  •  You're worried your journalism career is going nowhere
  •  You have no idea where you are going wrong with your job applications.

The majority of graduate journalists I spoke to were doing unpaid placements.  They balanced that with menial part-time jobs to bring some money in.  They were desperate to move onto paid work, but their applications were coming to nothing.  And not only were they unsuccessful in their applications, but they weren't getting any feedback on what they were doing wrong.

The job market has changed.  In the not so distant past, people generally didn’t have to work too hard to land a new job.

There was a plentiful supply of positions and in most cases you didn’t have too much competition for those places.  But these days you really need to know how to market yourself. 

This workbook, "The 3 Top Strategies for Graduate Journalists to Find Work" will help you with:

   1. Accessing the opportunities in the 'hidden' job market

    2.  Managing your online Social Media profile to build up your Value within 

        your area of journalism

   3. Writing a CV and Cover Letter that will really sell you properly 

   4. Drawing up an organised Plan so that you keep on moving forward in

        your career

   5. Looking at your overall Life Situation, so that you have a healthy

        Work/Life Balance

The information in this Workbook is invaluable.  And it's all in one place, so you won't have to trawl the internet looking at different websites, with different strategies, not knowing which ones work and which ones don't.

The Workbook contains plenty of exercises to make sure that you don't just read the book and then leave it in the drawer.  You will need to take Action to move your Career forward and these exercises will help you do that.

I have also included some Resources specific to the world of journalism, including places where Journalism Jobs are advertised, websites where you can advertise your services as a Freelancer, and Blog, Forums and News sections where you can keep up-to-date with events in the industry.


"After receiving Alistair's journalism job-hunting workbook, I was surprised and impressed with how detailed the guide was. His workbook provides a practical and realistic way of searching for journalism jobs in a tough climate - and it actually works! Alistair taught me how to stay relevant in a job market that is constantly evolving, and gave me the courage to approach potential employers instead of waiting for a big break to come to me. I'd definitely recommend Alistair to anybody who is stuck in a job-hunting rut; you won't look back."
