Reposting, and let me know if you need tips on how to move there!

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.

If you want something done, ask a journalist. (Or a former journalist.) Daily deadlines we cannot shake. If we didn't deliver in a day, we didn't do our job. If a communications strategist sends you an email three weeks later, they start with "Thanks for your patience." "Sorry for the delay". "Circling back after review". Different career verticals have different expectations and that's okay but if you are looking to hire someone who can produce quality work and act swiftly, consider hiring that journalist. All things considered, if you have two candidates and one has a journalism background....Take a chance on the journalist. Would the memo be better written if they took a week to send it back? Possibly. But there is power and momentum in getting it done. #hireajournalist

This is the conversation I’ve had with almost every single former journalist I’ve ever spoken to: How much slower it takes to get things done in the real world and how difficult and frustrating it is trying to de-program ourselves. But, is the business world catching on to the value journalists bring to the table? Just this morning I came across a Director of Public Relations position for a major global company and the job requirement for the PR role: “Bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, marketing, or related field.” Another basic requirement: “You are nimble, organized, and can manage multiple projects simultaneously, while paying close attention to detail.” The problem is most people have no idea what a TV news producer actually does. Line producers deal with breaking news on the fly, make snap decisions, while juggling many moving parts during a LIVE broadcast. They are the definition of NIMBLE and they do it while also working under an incredible amount of pressure, not just on a daily basis, but a minute-to-minute basis. People are always quick to hire the “face” of a news station. While I’m not trying to take away from that, it is short-sighted to not look at *TV NEWS PRODUCERS* for the role, too. Anchors are the plate that arrives at your table. Producers are the chef. #newsproduction #producer #tvproducer #newsproducer #tvnews #hire
