Moving from freelance to a permanent role

On this episode I chat with Christian Smith, who came to me for mentoring advice in 2020. At the time he was a lawyer and aspiring journalist particularly keen on a career in foreign news, broadcasting, or long form journalism. Over the course of the next year or so we had a few sessions and Christian eventually worked for me and progressed through places like Times Radio and is now a Broadcaster and litigation editor at The Lawyer.We chat about his path into UK media, how networking is vital and how freelancing can open doors to a permanent role.If you are applying for media jobs or feeling stuck in your current role, get in touch for advice and guidance here: https://www.themediamentor.info/servicesThere you will also find 6 pages of media jobs to browse and there's a WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb1iknl8fewtgb5bPU0XIf you have any questions about media careers or a story that you would like to share then please get in touch.More details about The Media Mentor can be found here.For all the latest job listings head here.To get alerts on media jobs as they drop follow the MM WhatsApp channel here.
