Job hunting

I haven't written on this for a while, so Honkit, here is the next entry.

June 2009 sees this particular blogger leave his degree at the University of Kent and enter the big wide world (note: that phrase was used when I left primary school, secondary school, sixth form. I think I'm at least partially in the big wide world already!)

I'm looking a job at a newspaper. My aim is to write for a national newspaper, and I have applied to a national newspapers graduate scheme, but I am also following advice to start in a local newspaper, and so I'm reasearching that now.

By picking big towns which are likely to have good newspapers I think I'll be able to find good newspapers to start with - that is what the advice I was given.

So I thought that instead of making the decision when I went to uni of not picking anything with 400 miles of my home, I would start in the South East: London, Brighton, Southampton, Dover, Portsmouth. Any other good towns?

Maybe I'll send a couple of letters off to Liverpool and Manchester too.

So, back to it...
