WTXL ABC 27’s Post

Here are a few more reasons to hire a former journalist: *We can quickly assimilate information and repackage it in a compelling way for a wide-ranging audience. *We collaborate well and work independently with minimal supervision. *We know how to talk to people and build trusting relationships. I'll add another layer to this clip by Hannah Davis that I've experienced: a bystander, such as a camera operator, PR person, or spectator, trying to get your attention as well.

Job opportunity in BC

One of the most common questions I get from candidates in job interviews is what it's like to work for a company where the entire team is remote. As we're looking for new team members to join us, allow me to answer that question. Working remotely can be incredibly freeing; it means you're not tied to living in big cities where the rent is extortionate (I'm still in London, because I like to torture myself), nor do you have to spend money on rail cards, the Tube or buses. On the flipside, working from home can be isolating. It's just the nature of the situation. This is why it's so important for companies to keep staff engaged, and I'd like to think that we do that at JP. Through trial and error, we've found our groove. There was the dreaded Zoom quiz (I think the team will all agree it wasn't a winner) but there's also the annual JamFest – where our editors Ben Nicholls and Jody Knowles invite us to Cornwall to hang out on the beach, have dinners and drinks, and 'work'. Mind you, I once swam out a bit too far and had to be rescued by a hunky lifeguard but that one's on me... We do team meetings on Zoom just to say hi. We have a Slack channel that acts as a water cooler, where writers can chat about whatever they like (they share a lot of pet photos – I can't complain). We offer trainings, call them weekly and try to be available as much as possible. I can't speak for my team but I can say that from what I've seen in the past four years, they all appear to get on pretty well – which is a rarity in many physical offices. Working from home is about mutual respect and trust – and I trust my team. Yeah, we make bad jokes. We send gifs. We have an infamous Friday Question that the brilliant Lee from the World Team drops in the afternoon. This year's JamFest is happening after summer. I've (understandably so) been banned from ordering shots. I am fairly certain there will be some karaoke (we love that mic far too much) and I know we'll have a good time. So yeah, we're not in an office. All that means is that we make extra effort to create our own version of one. Enough from me... we've got jobs going. If you're looking for a change, give us a shout.

An interesting conversation about the benefits a company gains by hiring a journalist: So overlooked and so very important: 4. We check facts. (we check everything.)

5 reasons why you should hire a journalist or recovering journalist for your organization or company: 1- We get things done. 2- We pay attention to the big picture and small details. 3- We are sticklers for grammar. 4- We check facts. 5- Did I mention we get things done? 6- Bonus: We can learn anything if properly trained.

I completely agree with Noelle's assessment here! This has been one of the most challenging elements of my job hunt. Journalists and media professionals are among the best candidates for any communications role. Maybe we don't have a corporate background initially, but many of us have been tasked with meeting impossible deadlines, talking to people in the worst moments of their lives, repurposing content for multiple platforms (on those tight deadlines), guiding people through severe weather as it storms on our heads, and beyond! The skill set you learn in working in media prepares you to tackle just about anything. And with proper product training, we will be among the most valuable candidates you come across! #Media #Journalism #Communications
