It& #39;s been a couple years since I graduated and honestly finding a comprehensive way to find a job in media (and places like indeed are shit, sorry) was some of the worst of it so I thought I& #39;d share a thread of all the best places/tips I found

First up, @journoresources has amazing resources – they don& #39;t necessarily just post journalism jobs, there’s a lot of crossover with media and comms especially. Sign up to their newsletter for sure.
@Jem_Collins who runs it is also a great follow for tips and things. Jem made a thread about CVs and cover letters which I owe a lot of my successful applications to. https://twitter.com/Jem_Collins/status/948969091066458112?s=20">https://twitter.com/Jem_Colli...
Next, @themediamentor posts different types of jobs every weekday, a lot of entry level stuff comes up here.
I would highly recommend signing up to @mediabeansio newsletter, also it& #39;s got a filter on the website so you can look for jobs that aren& #39;t in London! https://mediabeans.io/ ">https://mediabeans.io/">...
Not as busy as it used to be but https://www.mediargh.com/ ">https://www.mediargh.com/">... is great for resources – lots of interviews and cv/cover letter examples.
My first media job was working in comms for a charity, and it& #39;s honestly a great place to start – these are two good places to look:

https://www.charitycomms.org.uk/my-career/sector-jobs

Another tip would be utilise the search tool on twitter, I for example would put in "looking for podcast producer" and that& #39;s how I found the job before my current!

Finally, this is more for marcomms jobs but if you have a location of where you want to work then google companies in that city/area and go on their website directly for any hiring opps, sometimes it& #39;s the only place they advertise!
I hope any of this might help someone who& #39;s navigating the scary field of trying to get their first job after graduating and if you every need someone to proof read a cover letter feel free to give me a shout, happy to help!
