With the last year bringing so much uncertainty to the media industry, many journalists are choosing to parlay their skills into content roles in the public sector - and what's not to love? Job security, a regular paycheck and super make this an attractive proposition. But what do you need to know before you take the leap? Journo Nigel Bartlett, who's currently working as a content designer in a government role, joins us to share his tips on:
- Updating your LinkedIn so you're attractive to government
agencies and have a desirable skillset
- How to find the right jobs - either via LinkedIn or agencies
recruiters or HR departments
- At what stage you should negotiate flexibility (eg working
off-site, even part of the time)
- How to assess whether a government role is right for you
- Skills that are important and those you'll pick up (Nigel's
picked up some great UX skills which are in high demand)
- And much more.
