Description
Journo Resources, in conjunction with Sheffield Hallam University, is delighted to running Journo Resources Live, a day-long event which will help you get the journalism job you want (and progress once you're there).
Trust us when we say it'll be a full day - everyone attending will get to attend in-depth workshops, see industry-leading journalists, and get time to leaf through pitches, CVs and more. And that's just the start.
Your ticket will include everything on offer (seriously, no hidden fees, they're rubbish). You'll hear from our panel on the future of journalism and the skills you need to succeed. Currently the line-up includes:
- Emma Smith, Managing Editor of Business Insider UK
- Brian Bremner, Global Business Executive Editor of Bloomberg
- Hazel Davis, Co-Founder of Muse Flash Pitching
- Tet Kofi, Co-Founder of JournoLink
You'll also get to hear from our expert workshop leaders on three different masterclass workshops:
- Pitching: We'll take you through the basics of pitching your ideas to an editor, finding freelance jobs and more.
- CVs & Cover Letters: Just how do you get your job application to stand out? We'll show you how.
- Video for Social Media: Want to keep someone's interest on social? Here's how you do it.
And there's more! You'll also get access too:
- Careers Fayre & Interactive Installations: With stalls from leading industry bodies, and JR's distinctive installations around pay, pitching and more.
- Goodie Bag: Yours to take away, and filled with treats.
- Interactive Leaderboard Game: We'll leave it at that. It's a surprise.
We'll be allocating tickets on a first-come-first-serve basis, so do book your tickets as soon as you're able. If you're no longer able to attend do let us know and we'll try our best to resell the tickets! Struggling with finances? Please get in touch.
