Getting your foot on the journalism ladder can be tricky. But certain skills and experiences help candidates stand out.

This Edit event will explore navigating internships, the experiences emerging journalists do and don’t need on their resume, building contacts, navigating your first few career moves and more. This event is aimed at students, emerging journalists and anyone thinking about making a career move in the near future.

Panellists will share stories about how they got their first jobs, give tips on standing out, discuss what to tick off in your first few jobs, cover what positions may be available and will be available for one-on-one discussion on the night.
