Jobs Search

Job prospects for the nation in the newspapers every day is getting darker. Well respected icons like the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, the owners declared bankruptcy, Gannett has suffered massive redundancies and newspapers continue to lose ground in competition for the advertising and television and especially the Internet.

In conversations with my many contacts with the media, I suggest you be prepared for the worst and be proactive while working. When a journalist, writerno job or fired late editor of one of the most important assets who want to use the new is to find their PR contacts. Yes, yes, the same people who send press releases may be able to help you find a new job or freelance concert.

The journalists face on a regular basis may be better able to help and want help. As new jobs, I have to say, journalism jobs are few and therefore does not excludeComing to the "dark side" by a journalist or ... Not so bad! Keep an open mind for some self-employment or a career change to marketing, corporate communications or web content. In every job search, networking is probably the most important activity you can do.

Since the seat is not always Telegraph plans layoffs under way, one of the first things I want to do is be prepared for this possibility with the collection of all my phone contactsNumbers to store e-mail and postal addresses and bring them to a CD or memory stick to take home. If this is not possible to send an e-mail to a different address. Why be paranoid? I've heard of cases where the boss announces the dismissal hearing, told reporters have come with my hand on their Blackberrys and mobile phones on the spot and then blocked by the computer with time to obtain the information.

Then, if that pink slip comes, you have the most andable to reach each contact. Let them know you are looking for a new job and exchange of information about the work they are. If e-mail to send an updated CV. Do not be shy to ask for help and tell them they were fired off, or otherwise. Do not keep the secret. There is no shame in losing their jobs these days, especially between the economic situation we are crazy right now.

After the bad news is, make sure you or your ex announcedBOSS is an auto-responder on your e-mail if and when people send an automatic reply stating that there is not because so and so or whatever you substitute for personal matters and that you at this number or e- mail will be achieved.

Why do I have time, dealing with media of all people, I often have a lot of journalists, publishers, writers and photographers, the job lost. Often, the newspaper retains the e-mail for months in the life and someone else's e-mail response.Some media even think about a reporter's phone and email go and someone else has checked at regular intervals. Not all dismissals are carried out in daylight and as a result we Have not always immediately publicists to hear about it.
