Do you want to get into the publishing industry?
In this online masterclass we will hear from publishing recruitment specialists and in-house HR colleagues as they share their top tips for getting a job in publishing. The panel will discuss the do's and don'ts of the application process, what stands out to them in a CV and a covering letter, and how to sell yourself so that you make an impression in the right way.
The session will also include workshop style exercises to get you thinking about how the advice given by the panellists can be applied to your own applications in real time.
Finally, we will end the session with a Q&A so come ready with your questions about a career in publishing!
Join us online on the evening of the 1st July to start your journey.
