For resumes targeting journalism, media & communication opportunities…

Your resume should highlight and showcase the skills most relevant for the position you are applying. If you’re applying to be a Broadcast Journalist, you may link a production reel in the contact information section of your resume. If you’re applying to be a Graphic Designer, you may include a self-portrait illustration to showcase your abilities. Remember, you should use your resume and cover letter to tell the story of who you are as a professional – demonstrating the skills that will catch an employer’s eye!

Check out our resume and cover letter guide for tips and samples to get started. For additional assistance, please visit Quinncia, an AI-powered mock interview and resume review platform.

Interviewing for a media-related position might feel very different from other application processes. It is important to do ample research on the company and culture of an employer before showing up for your interview. It is not uncommon for applicants of Communication Specialists roles to be given a “field assignment,” “case study,” or “homework” in preparation for an interview. Applicants in media and film should expect to be asked question about their production experience. Being ready and well-practiced is half the battle in acing your interview!
