Episode 249 of bookcareers.com Live – 10 Alternatives to Unpaid Work Experience

We’re starting to hear the words ‘unpaid work experience’ being bandied around as though it is normal. Unpaid work experience is not normal; you should never work unpaid.

In this episode of bookcareers.com live, we suggest 10 simple alternatives to unpaid work experience, that could give you experience to help improve your CV and ultimately, help you get employed. We’ve used the simple ones in this episode, to demonstrate just how easy it is to get some understanding of book publishing and the world of work, without too much effort.

These are extracted from How to Job Search in Book Publishing: The Ultimate Insider’s Guide by Suzanne Collier, which will be published later this month. As of 10th February 2025, it isn’t yet available to pre-order (due to a technicality) but that should be changed imminently.
