Moving from Beijing to London

from The Media Mentor

This week I talk to Robin Zhang about how he moved from China to the UK to study journalism and pursue his dream of working in UK radio. When he first came to me for support he had completed an MA at Cardiff University and was working as a volunteer in radio, but wanted to bridge that gap from student to a full-time job. Find out what we worked on to do that and what extra things Robin did to break into the industry. Since we first met Robin has worked for Times Radio, GB News and now BBC News.
