Shaping a freelance CV and building your media portfolio

from The Media Mentor

Freddie Clayton first came to me for mentoring advice in 2018 when he was in Argentina. He felt his CV needed a redesign and I helped get it into shape before Freddie then worked at the likes of The Telegraph and Sky Sports. But he moved away from sport and into news and the enviornment and returned to me for more guidance on getting that CV right a few years later. Listen to his advice about career paths and why using niche expertise can be a great way to land work.If you have similar concerns about your CV or need help with cover letters and interviews then mentoring sessions are available via the website.There are 6 pages of media jobs to browse and there is also a WhatsApp channel for job alerts.If you have any questions about media careers or a story that you would like to share about job hunting, 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.
