‘Writing a marketing blog’
'Jos Can, can you? |
- 12th January 2012 - Fellow blogger Michael Palmer, with whom I have struck up an online friendship owing to our similar backgrounds (both academic grads, both blogging about our graduate job hunting lives) asked me to write a guest blog post for him. You can find it at Graduate Job Hunt Blog. The topic of my post (published 12th January 2012) is a lamentation about the post-recession transition of the graduate job market to less favour the 'generic' academics.
- 18th January 2012 - Before Christmas I was also lucky enough to be asked by Milkround to write for their new blog for recruiters using Milkround's services. I speak about my past history in marketing roles and how I hope that this will be appreciated along with my degree in my quest to find an agency position. Published January 18th, you can read it here: Milkround Recruiters.
- 15th February 2012 - Working as a Marketing Project Manager for the graduate recruitment company who owned TARGETjobs, I was able to make contact with the people in charge of their new blog. The blog was to be a platform for students a graduates to share stories about "internship and job hunt experiences, tips on how you got hired, gap year advice or funny first job or interview stories". I offered to write about my journey into marketing. You can read it at TARGETjobs Bloggers.
- 27th February 2012 - Before Jos Can even existed, I submitted an article to the 'Student View' section of the Milkround website about my lamentations of being a graduate chasing the right opportunity in a world filled with them. It was my first taste of writing for anyone other than my lecturers/examiners for a long time! Writing the article was definitely the catalyst to getting this whole blog underway, so although I'm not in the same position I was then, it's still great that it's now made it to the top of what I imagine to be a very long line of students hoping for their articles to be published. To see where my blogging inspiration began, visit Milkround Student View
- 27th February 2012 - All About Careers is a great web resource for students at all stages who are looking to find out more about the different career opportunities out there. I wrote an article for them about how blogging has helped me in my graduate job hunt: 'Writing a marketing blog'
- 13th June 2012 - In my efforts to spread the word about the Class of INITIALS (a work placement scheme ran by my previous agency), I made contact with Gradvantage, an industry-focused blog run by grads from the IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising), and ended up writing a short piece about my industry experiences so far. I reveal some of the harsher truths about having a job in marcomms and also offer what I hope is some good advice about chasing down a job. Have a read: Jos Can, can you?
