As 2008 graduates, we both experienced what it is like trying to build a career during a recession – which is the main reason why the podcast was created for 2020 grads.Hi, I’m Gemma and after graduating with a degree in Creative and Media Writing I thought I wanted to become a journalist… I was wrong! I am now a Marketing Director for a start-up company, but when I first started my career journey I never would have pictured that this is where I would end up. In this episode, I’ll tell you how I built my career (with zero marketing experience), things I would look for in a graduate’s CV and tools you can learn (for free) to enhance your employment prospects......and I'm Sarah Finley - a freelance journalist and editor who had written and worked for the BBC, Evening Standard, Femail and Woman and Home magazine. I started my career in journalism after a postgraduate degree in magazine journalism, where I found that networking, having a side hustle (my dating blog) and even travelling helped to build my career. I also talk about how a stint working in PR made me better at my job.The Graduate ClubWe also catch up with Katie May Huxtable who is the Founder of The Graduate Club – a free community for grads to connect with their peers and discuss all sorts of topics from finding work, moving back home and how to socialise during lockdown.If you haven’t joined already, head over to their website or search for The Graduate Club on LinkedIn or Instagram.Marketing resourcesHubspot Academy: academy.hubspot.com/coursesPure 360 White Papers: pure360.com/resources/guidesWebinars - brighttalk.com/webcastsFree Google courses: analytics.google.com/analytics/academyJournalism resourcesCision jobs - www.cisionjobs.co.ukNo.1 Freelance Media Women - facebook.com/groups/No1FreelanceMediaWomenFreelance writing jobs weekly newsletter - by journalist Sian Meades-WilliamsJoin The Graduate Club - thegraduateclubonline.co.ukIf you like this episode, please share it with your friends and leave a review to tell us what you think!
