University Of Nebraska Press’ Post

Hi everyone, we hope you are enjoying hearing about our people and roles at Pan Macmillan as part of #workinpublishing week. Today we hear from Andy Joannou, our Head of Digital Marketing: What does your job entail? Connecting readers with books they’ll (hopefully!) love, through social media and other paid avenues, and championing the power and benefits of reading. What made you choose a career in publishing? Honestly, I came from magazines and thought it wouldn't be too different - I was SO wrong! I loved the idea of combining a passion for reading with a job. What three words would you use to describe your job? Creative. Collaborative. Educational. What’s the best thing about working in publishing? I would say the best thing about working in publishing is that it offers continuous learning. No one book is the same, and being able to escape into so many different worlds and trying to find the right readers for those worlds is so exciting.

Hello Friends, I’m not really one to use this website as much as I probably should be, but I come to you all with a simple question: How can I improve? I have been out of the job hunt for about 7 months now and am starting to feel disconnected from the process. I, like everyone else seems to be hitting a wall when it comes to landing THAT job where I have to room to grow and advance. I know a lot of peoples success in landing a job comes from who you know, but in this post I would love to create a virtual picking of everyone’s brains. Either for tips in the application process or any recommendations for job sites to frequent or places I could network. Most of us are recent grads, and I would love to know how the process went to land your current job. My skillsets are as follows: * I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington where I majored in History with an emphasis on historical writing * While I was a student, I held a two year position as a student library assistant where I was trained in beach operations, assisted in shifting projects that involved working closely with technician and subject librarians in each branch * Along with helping train a new team of student librarians while the training team was going through its own transition and hiring process * I also worked three years as a writer at the UW Daily while also founding the Daily Archivein my senior year. It is a groundbreaking multi-media section of the paper that focuses on highlighting historical elements of the paper and the University, while preserving past issues in an electronic format, making them accessible to the community for the first time in their history I have a passion for history, and would love to take all of these skills I have honed over the last five years and put them into a job where I can continue to really appreciate the work that I do. I trust all of your opinions, for me all advice is good advice. I can’t wait to hear your story. Cheers, Liam

I feel that I am, first and foremost, a communicator, a science writer, a science communicator. But I do some marketing as well, and love the challenge of it. What's the difference, you ask? If you look around for definitions, most emphasize that marketing is getting into the head of your intended audience with the end goal of promoting yourself, your products or services. It's aimed at a "sell" of some kind. Communications is more about disseminating information more broadly, maybe creating interest or satisfying curiosity. In a university setting, there is a lot of overlap -- both require identifying an audience and that audience's values and priorities. I'm excited about the latest issue of College Highlights, for which I served as writer and production manager. This is a marketing piece, aimed at prospective undergrads and their parents. The call to action is to either apply or accept an offer of admission. I think we hit the mark better than ever this year, thanks to early and continuing involvement of our undergrad recruitment folks.

This is your opportunity to convey your genuine motivation. Persuade the admissions committee. Securing a spot in the program is more than a choice. But it's a necessity for you. For research-focused programs like PhDs. It's crucial to showcase your enthusiasm with precise SoP. Emphasizing the research projects you're eager to dive into. This illustrates your intentions clearly, demonstrating your commitment. On the flip side. Professional programs like MBAs or engineering programs. Require you to underline your interests in the respective field. Your readiness with the necessary skills and knowledge. How these programs cater to your growth in the professional arena. Fear not the specificity of your SoP. They won't pigeonhole you into a single research area or subfield. Admissions committees understand that your goals can evolve during your education journey. Instead, view these specifics as powerful tools. Especially when applying for scholarships. As they showcase your determination and purpose. P.S. It's your story, & your path to a brighter future. Make it sparkle. :) _________ Need an expert help? Got you! I'm an experienced SOP writer specializing in crafting captivating narratives that set you apart and open doors for your application.
