   getting a job in the media

           I am very pleased to be able to listen to Phil Hirst's who works for a corporate video production company and is a 'media mongrel., I see today's scene was very cordial, lectures scene a few years ago seemed vivid, life is not the return of the tickets, experienced things will not be repeated. Now, I am very fortunate to be able to listen again to master lectures. Thank you very much Glyndwr University, so I have such an opportunity to contect with famous people in the media. 'talk with the famous people better than reading ten books', The most regrettable thing in life was no teacher to help. On how to be a successful media person, I still do not dare to conclusions. But change a view, which was enabled me to go on, so my argument is how to do a good media person.

         Because on my own terms, I think the success of this concept is now the standard is too diversified, unlike many years ago, everyone on the success of a successful media person, as if judgment is very simple, and now I feel that I have confusion, doubt, what everyone's mind, a successful media person, what kind of media people a success, a success it can make money, you certainly say it is not. When the editor it may be considered a success, you might hesitate. Or that we do not become a good name for a reporter to determine answer. I think in terms of being, we can do an answer, but a good media person, relatively speaking, this concept is relatively easy to grasp. Then I will talk about Phil Hirst's views on this issue.
       Phil provide some good advice when it comes to applying for a media based job:
1.The CV is the opportunity to market and sell yourself.
2.Be determined and ask for feedback.
3.Show enthusiasm, you have to know about the organisation and do your research.
4. Show knowledge about what you want to do.
5.The competition will be fierce, be ahead of the game!
        Yes, the media is not the same person with the businessman, businessmen to make money, literary persons are more complex, a lot of people want fame Integrated Programme, If you want to be a media person, but also want to do a line with their ideals, how to do? In my opinion, not very sophisticated as well, officials "give rice" ，less to better,don‘t go is the best, go there must be income, after all, eat other people's mouth is short, take other people's hand is soft. I think this is a fundamental principle.
         Second don't afraid of loneliness,  Phil Hirst say that the media is important that the work experience rather than higher education. Because the media it is not a purely commercial organization, and our entire media industry average salary is not too high, if you can not stand such a lonely business era, you have to write a variety of popular books, or even open your own company to do something else,  I think this occupation as early as possible you can leave it.
         The third point is not greedy for money, we can see that there are a lot of good reporters, if you care, then you find that a lot of reporters who are greedy for money, a generation name in mind, as a prisoner, the names we do not have to say. On a media is concerned, it must be an independent body representing the social conscience, if people are to the media through this platform to make a purely commercial thing, this is not the media. In fact, think of it very complicated, but it looks very simple. If we say that we such a time, be a good media person, I think some of the specific path and ways you can make your own to comprehend, as Phil Hirst said to sell yourself, work hard, pay attention to opportunities. Let yourself be able to close a successful or a good media's role, I think there are some paths, how to do?
        In fact, very simple, like a martial arts master, do you have any cheats, the result is no stroke stroke victory, as
        1.we need to study Media Studies - Divided opinion in the industry about the value of such course.
        2.Strong. Interest by media employers in a specialist subject knowledge eg science, languages, economics, politics or engineering. Stronger commitment and passion for the area shown by non media students with relevant practical experience is a great way to start
        3.Technical knowledge - Software, cameras, computers infrastructure
        4.I want to add is to be a media person should not blindly, this is very difficult. How can we not blind, I have been on their own request, I have been in accordance with the meaning of these words do.
        I would say, respect for truth, return to common sense, inclusive humanity, reverence for life, the moral act. This is not so simple to understand words, the literal meaning is easy to understand, but if it is to be placed in our real life to measure, it is more difficult, especially as we are now in a commercial society, in a high rate foam, so that everyone is under tremendous economic pressure, while facing temptations of wealth era, to stick to their career aspirations, income is not high in an industry, try our best to do everything.
