&lt;p&gt;Media is an incredibly tough industry to break into. It is vital that you show ruthless commitment to the profession. This CV shows a range of experience in different positions and publications. Textbook journalism is not enough; you need to be able to show the range of skills that you picked up whilst working directly in the field. Languages are an asset as are solid computer skills and experience or skills in photography and design. Being a good writer isnt enough. Solid research skills, a second or third language and, for example, sub-editing skills, are more likely to get you an interview than simply enjoying writing. To pursue a career in media, you have to sell yourself as a package of relevant and related skills and experiences. Be sure to highlight any year abroad or Erasmus exchange experiences as not all degrees offer this unique opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;CENTER&quot;&gt;&quot; 99 Buckingham Blvd, London, UK, EC1 ABC &quot; Mob. +44 (0)7000 000000 &quot;&lt;br /&gt;&quot; thomas.johnson@email.co.uk &quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;CENTER&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THOMAS JOHNSON&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDUCATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bachelor of Arts, Political Science and Economics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;University of London, UK&lt;br /&gt;Degree: First&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Erasmus Year, Political Science and Economics, University of Barcelona, Spain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courses in European Affairs, Politics and Economy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EMPLOYMENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 2006 - present &lt;strong&gt;Editorial Assistant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;123 Weekly &quot; &lt;em&gt;Global Affairs magazine&lt;/em&gt;&quot; Manchester&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assisting editorial team in research and writing for magazine&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assisting online team in content coding and uploading&lt;p&gt;May 2005 - May 2006&lt;strong&gt;Features Editor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Campus Weekly&lt;/em&gt;&quot; Student Newspaper&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Managing and coordinating a weekly features section&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Layout and design of section, writing, editing, photography&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recruiting volunteer contributors&lt;p&gt;May 2004 - May 2005 &lt;strong&gt;Reporter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Campus Weekly&lt;/em&gt;&quot; Student Newspaper&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reporting on-campus and community news for a weekly news section and daily news website&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Writing a weekly feature for the features section&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SKILLS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Excellent Macintosh and PC skills &quot; Quark XPress and Copy Desk &quot; Adobe InDesign and Photoshop &quot; Sub Editing &quot; HTML, SEO, CMS systems &quot; Photography &quot; MS Office &quot; Web editing&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LANGUAGES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fluent in English and French&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Studied: German (3 yrs), Spanish (1 yr)&lt;p align=&quot;CENTER&quot;&gt;References available upon request&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
