Get the fuck in :-D

Obviously it's something i'm doing. I still write quite a bit for the FSF so it's not as if i'm not keeping myself busy and putting my work out there. However, it's not foolproof.

 

I don't remember saying it was foolproof or easy. Just trying to help.

 

What areas do you want to write about/interested in?

 

I'm just remembering another conversation we had a few months back when you effectively said as much

 

Sports reporting and/or feature writing are what i'd eventually like to do but at the minute i'm willing to try my hand at just about anything.

 

If I'm honest I would forget about sports reporting for the time being... More chance of being gang raped by a bus full of playboy bunnies than getting a job in that.

 

Start with news and features and take it from there, a couple of old colleauges (including me) made the move from news in to sport after several years experience. Most of them are now out of a job but that's a different story.

 

Aye, sport always seems to be something you move into rather than start in so i'm ready to do my time on the news desk writing about cowboys builders and cats stuck up trees. It would be nice to be derided on here and other boards for my shoddy NUFC reporting one day though

 

PR is something i'm actively looking to get into too as there seems to be more chance of a job but even they're closing ranks at the minute. Any suggestions?

 

Don't take your lead from these guys? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/3...as-name-blunder

They definitely are. I've got 5 years of very specialised PR experience and I'm not getting interviews for jobs I think I'd have walked in to 18 months ago. Not sure but I reckon you'll struggle for a junior PR position though simply because people coming out of PR courses will be in pole position (and most will have much better tits than you).

 

Don't immediately think local paper, there are thousands of trade magazines. A lass off my course went out to Germany after graduating and edited a trade magazine, decent wedge and a company BMW.

My cousin done the opposite. He's a journalist up in Aberdeen and started out on the sports desk but now he does news.
