JR Grads Club: The Exclusive Data That Can Guide & Support Your Job Hunt

This event is part of JR Grads Club, a new six-month programme designed to help you take your first steps into the journalism and media industry. As well as tailored workshops, you'll get access to 1-2-1 support, job alerts, and much more. Join the club here.

One day three years ago, Journo Resources founder Jem Collins realised she was sitting on a data goldmine. Running the UK's biggest journalism jobs resource, she realised she was uniquely placed to uncover data and trends to answer common questions about finding a job. In this new and updated workshop, she'll reveal all the latest daya for 2026 and beyond.

As well as an interactive Q&A, this session will unpick the data on areas such as:

• The key skills and experiences currently sought after by employers — and what's changed;
• Areas which are recruiting for journalists right now, which you might have overlooked;
• Patterns and trends in hiring to help you streamline your job searching strategy;
• How you can build your own data sets to inform your job hunt and complete the feedback loop.
