Journalism Assistant Review

I shadowed a journalist during reports in Calendar. This was in a bigger team.

I learned first hand experience of a professional environment.

It was enjoyable, the experience was fairly social and it was dynamic.

All workers were relatively friendly, everyone was happy to help.

There were times where I was not doing a lot but generally it was structured. There were several stages such as a brief induction where I was familiarised with the setting.

My supervisor was useful and friendly, there were no problems during my time with the company.

I was able to meet managerial staff at a point, they briefly shared advise.

I was not paid for my time, this was agreed prior.

I was not at the company for long enough to access these benefits.

Yes

It was an enjoyable experience.

I would go in with an open mind, and watch the programming of the department that you are working for so that you are familiarised with the way that they operate.
