Networking
To get into broadcasting the main thing you need to do is build up your networks as much as you can, so that when it comes to you finding a job in broadcasting its not as hard. Building up your networks can give you opportunities to get into broadcasting, depending on how good your networking is. The best way to network within TV is to go to many events which involve TV, that way you can meet people working in TV and build up your networking list. - Agata
​
I am really talkative so most of my networking contacts comes from everyday walks to the shop, work, university or park. I make contacts easily as I am really open person. I strongly believe that if you show others just a little bit of attention, manners and you are being happy not only to take but also give, you will succeed. Another option for gaining contacts is to ask your relatives. It is much easier than going outside and actually look for someone who will sacrifice their 5 minutes for you. So just ask your mum, dad or auntie if ‘they know someone who…’. Eventually networking is all about asking, right? - Julia
​
For build up the networks in broadcasting is the necessary step for you to make your career be more successful. You need the variety information to brainstorm your idea to make the work creative and on-trend. Especially, as the program director in Music TV, you need to go to the more specific occasions to meet the people who are well known in music field, like musician and singer. And also speak to the person who has the work experience in broadcasting; they can give you the practical suggestion to get more idea into your area. - Mingyue
​
Doing a networking we should know ourselves in a clearly way, that means we need to think about What kind of people we knew in our daily life like parents, classmates, teachers, working- partners , What kind of job are they doing like teacher, doctor, lawyer…, What kind of matter we often met it like decorate our home, find a teacher to teach kids, someone got hurt which are really need someone’s help, and How to use your relationships to make you convenient. - Jialu
​
Networking- it’s actually quite simple! Everywhere you go and socialize you meet new people and they all are interested in different things, but they are your connections and in the future it might come in handy. Also we receive plenty of opportunities here in university! Our professors post a lot of great things on our facebook pages, groups and they come in handy as well! I found out about BBC broadcasting boot camp in Worchester from one of the posts, I applied, got accepted and got new contacts from BBC1 and from different universities that students came from! Keep your mind, eyes and ears open! - Laura

I chose broadcasting as my specific area of interest because I have always wanted to become a TV Presenter ever since I was little. This job requires you to be very motivated and enthusiastic at all times, as many jobs do – but TV Presenting specifically requires you to test yourself in different ways to show that you are suitable for the job.
​
My personal favourite area would be TV in specific, anything to do with TV is what I would love to do in the future. I have always liked the idea of a TV presenter, but TV within broadcasting is very open so there are many different jobs that may be suitable for me.
​
I am a good fit for this industry because I have always been confident when talking to people whether I’m under pressure or not, which is a good skill to have while working in this industry.

I chose broadcasting because, I find it to be exciting, without a routine and I believe that people can better perceive information presented in audio or visual format. Also in the job you can meet so many different and interesting people!
​
My personal favourite area is a TV presenter, because it’s very exciting and you can also be on the move for the stories! You can travel around, hear different people stories and see other interesting cultures. I feel like one of my strengths are actually presenting, I love to present something I am passionate about to others.
I am a great fit for this industry because, I am passionate about news and learning something new all the time, working under pressure doesn’t bother me – I handle stress very well and I am very excited to work creatively as I have some experience already as an improviser actress (confidence with public speaking and in front of a camera) and from workshops in a radio studio.

Broadcasting is very spacious subject. Not only is it a way to earn money, but also it is a great opportunity to travel the world, meet new people and gain more knowledge. This is why I have been always interested in this area;
-
I love science, books and studying itself,
-
If only was it for free, I would be travelling all the time,
-
And the contact with people keeps me alive- I cannot stay in silence for longer than 20 minutes!
What is more, as a broadcaster, you have something that I call a ‘voice power’. You can somehow influence someone else- eventually you are presenting the information, entertainment etc. to the audience. You have ability to speak out loud and opportunity to post your information to a various group of people.
​
Like I said before- my favourite way to gain some contacts is to just go outside the house and talk with others.
​
I think that the unique thing I have is the strong will and belief. For me the word ‘impossible’ is not existing. I believe that if you want- you will achieve E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!

Because I read a book written by a famous Chinese hostess from phoenix channel when I was 10 that impressed me a lot .Her passion ,love and the tough road to be a hostess inspired me .
From my perspective, to build network within TV is to go to events that can meet TV people or talk to your close friends to find if there might be someone working in TV that she can introduce u to meet.
My favorite area is music in broadcasting. I love music for sure and that’s I want to do in future. Music presenter not only have academic knowledge but also have music sense ,it’s a bit more interesting than single TV presenter.
First I enjoy the light before the video camera and I’m confident in speaking public . Secondly ,my parents both are working related to media industry so they shared their experience in working and I have a great opportunity to have a placement in Broadcasting company.

When I was in the primary school when the teacher asked me: What do you want to do in the future?” I answered her with no doubt “I want to be a host, coz it is very glitter just talking about something I like in front of the microphone, and then I will be a star, so cool.’’ Although I know that I have no chance to achieve the dream coz the road to be host is really hard, it cost not only your effort but also the money, the relationship, you need a beautiful face, body and so on. So at present I choose the broadcasting group just in order to close my dream, it is enough, I am happy with it, just let it become a beautiful dream.
​
My personal favourite area is the TV Series, I love to watch very much not only in my country but also abroad. In that, each series in built by a mature and interesting story and the actors through their acting to make the story alive which could make more people get interested watching it just for fun, nor just watch on the book through this classic way it is easy to make people sleep as soon as possible. And also after watching the different series from various topics, ideas, actors, countries, languages…it could make me comprehend more and more knowledge, see more pretty views, get in touch with different personalities from the whole world.
​
Obviously, If you want to work in a media company the first thing is to become creative like someone just gave you one example and then you can come up three or more similar and extended example from it nor just copy the same idea several times. Secondly, you must work on time whatever the company is related to media or not that we all need to obey the rules and with strong passion, it could represent your respecting and love of the job and supervisors. Also, we are doing at media industry that we will meet and discuss with lots of TV stations, movies directors, musical singers that require us must talk about the cooperation on time nor they will think we don’t have credit.
