You must watch and listen to television and radio, especially if you want to be involved in programme making. We want to see practical evidence to support your enthusiasm, as well as an aptitude and possibly some professional experience. Jobs are either advertised internally as part of staff development, externally in the national or regional press or in specialist magazines. The range of opportunities is wide. You need to think about the career direction you want to pursue and have a clear idea of what is involved.
Reporters can operate on a bi-media basis reporting an event for both radio and television.
This concept of flexibility is expanding so that staff will need to be able to work using more than one skill. Training is specifically tailored to meet the needs of both the individual and the demands of programme making. We look for intelligent people with enquiring minds who have a thorough knowledge of news. Production is team work - getting original ideas from the concept to reality, within budget and on time. We look for creative people with bright enquiring minds who appreciate and understand the rigours of programme-making.
