PERSONAL STATEMENT

http://www.inglesgarantizado.com/








I have a BA Honours degree in Journalism and I have work experience across a range

of press, radio and public relations. I am currently working for Local women

magazine in Derry, N. Ireland as their Strabane and Omagh correspondent. I am

highly skilled in using Indesign, Photoshop, Excel and IRN. I am a very friendly and

outgoing person, with a positive attitude and determination to succeed in life. I am

qualified to teach English as a foreign language.

WORK PLACEMENT HISTORY

In the past five, six years I have tried to gain as much professional experience as

possible.

January 2011-present: Local Women, Derry

I am currently working for the magazine on a freelance basis. My duties involve

feature writing, interviewing, research and helping and organising photo shoots for

the magazine.

February 2010-May 2010: Kenyon Fraser Marketing

I worked for Kenyon Fraser doing outreach work, representing our client, the NHS. I

worked and help manage a campaign in Liverpool which involved getting five

thousand people under the age of twenty-five tested for Chlamydia. This position was

both challenging and extremely rewarding. It tested my ability to communicate with

the public in person and to understand their thoughts and opinions on the subjectmatter and provide them with customer satisfaction.

January 2010: Woman’s Way Magazine, Dublin Ireland

During my time at Woman’s Way I gained experience in writing for the different

sections of the magazine, such as health, TV and showbiz, fashion, real-life and home

and interiors etc. Whilst working at the magazine, I worked confidently and on my

own initiative, carrying out all tasks required, this included securing interviews as

well as carrying them out and writing up features. I had full responsibility for thespring fashion section, choosing the trends and styling the looks that I felt were the

most suitable for the magazine. I attended a press launch of a successful department

store’s new designer sunglasses range. I felt my networking skills were improved and

helped me become more confident in the public relations field. Despite being there for

only two weeks, I had my work published in ten issues of the magazine. My

journalistic and administration skills developed substantially working at this

successful publication. During the placement I had to cover on reception, which

allowed me to take control and allow for the smooth running of the entire publication.

Responsibilities included taking calls, organising mail and providing information for

customers.







January-February 2010: Mason Williams PR, Manchester/ Paversmith PR,

Liverpool

Working for both PR companies gave me a real insight into the industry. I wrote

press releases, compiled mood boards and came up with ideas for new campaigns. I

worked closely on Liverpool One with Mason Williams, helping to develop ideas for

activities for families for special events. I did a great deal of research for my

colleagues, which greatly benefited their client’s accounts. I really enjoyed

organising a press launch for Schwarzkoff Hair Colour range, in the Vanilla Club in

London, which is now currently an advertisement on TV. I had to contact key beauty

writers of all the top magazines and encourage them to attend. The launch was a great

success. Similarly, at Paversmith I worked on the press for the Liverpool Boat Show

2010. I had to organise the cuttings to show the client as well as organise the guest

list and write press releases.

September 2009-present: Liverpool Life: JMU Journalism website

Whilst at university I worked as a fashion writer, reporting on the latest trends and

writing features about the fashion industry. I regularly reported on the Liverpool

fashion scene, attending the city’s fashion shows. I contributed to the news and

features section of the website on a regular basis. Working for the website, helped me

work in a professional environment as I had to meet deadlines and communicate with

the other members of the team.

January 2009: Highland Radio, Co. Donegal, Ireland I volunteered for oneweek whilst on my Christmas break at a local radio station, where I was based in the

newsroom. Duties included writing news reports for broadcast on air, researching

information for use on a music and entertainment show at the radio station, organising

obituaries to be read on-air. I’ve learnt a great deal in working with Highland and my

confidence has soared. The tone and pace of my voice has improved, and I’ve become

more confident reading live on-air. In addition, I attended press conferences and

shadowed one of the female journalists at the station. This position called upon many

skills I had learned as part of my degree and tested my ability to put them into

practice in a ‘real world’ situation.

December 2008- January 2009: Strabane Chronicle, Co. Tyrone, N. Ireland

During my time there I got an insight into how the newsroom worked, and wrote a

number of local news stories. I produced a centre-double page feature for the

newspaper in December 2008, after getting an exclusive interview with X-factor

finalist and pop star Eoghan Quigg. This experience was the most rewarding as I got

to put my journalistic skills into practice. In addition, I wrote fashion articles for the

publication on the latest fashion trends. This was an experience I thoroughly enjoyed,

and it was my first real insight into life working at a newspaper.

July-September 2008: Finn Valley Post, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
