Create a Job Portfolio That Makes a Lasting Impression in the Media Industry
In today’s competitive media job market, simple resumes may not be enough to bring job seekers the positions they desire. To leave a more positive impression, a portfolio may be the answer. A portfolio has more of the information employers need to make a decision. Employers look at resumes first, but this is a chance for yours to shine. For example, if one has been working at media jobs for many years, the resume will list all the important positions. It will not only list what was done. It will also list accomplishments on the jobs as well. The resume will be a powerful 1-2 page summary of a working life.
When job seekers go to interviews, they can present employers with a portfolio to look over. Of course, the resume is the centerpiece. However, by using a portfolio, other elements can be added to make the package more personalized and authoritative. Another option is to make this portfolio available online before the interview.
The first thing the person who opens your portfolio will see is the cover letter. This page will allow you to personally offer your services for hire. It will give a chance to say why you believe you should be considered above other candidates. Along with the cover letter, a personal portrait will help employers remember job candidates. Make sure that this picture is taken professionally. It should show one at one’s best. Working in the media, or looking for media jobs, one should know how important appearances are. See to it that yours is the best it can be.
Another page could list questions employers are likely to ask during an interview. Answers could be given under the best, least pressure situation: in writing. This can give employers insight into one’s work experiences in media jobs. It will also give them an idea of the job seeker’s personal style.
One very important page of the portfolio is a list of references. This can include recent employers; as well as people one has done good jobs for in the past. Anyone who would be positive about one’s abilities related to the desired jobs would be a good fit for this section. References should be listed by their name and company, along with contact information.
One can also put other indications of one’s credentials in a portfolio. Any honors or certifications that have been received can be included. One can put in any short written works one has produced on the job. Any professional articles written by the job seeker in industry magazines or newspapers can be included. When a portfolio is made online, one other important thing to include is personal contact information. The job seeker’s name, address, email address, and all the phone numbers where he can be reached should be visible on each page. Employers who cannot locate you conveniently may not offer you media jobs.
Good portfolios guide employers to looking at important abilities. They show you at your best and give all the information needed to start the hiring process rolling. You can create a portfolio to showcase your abilities.

Why does the news media commonly list women and children as a category when they report war casualty?
I have always thought it a bit sexist when I read these kinds of reports.
After all, if you are a civilian, what should it matter if you are a male civilian or female civilian? It is as if they imply that male civilians are less valuable or worthy of mention.
If a mother and her child are killed in war, wouldn’t it be equally tragic if the civilian father/husband was killed? If not, why not?
I can understand the mention of children because they are incapable of caring for themselves and are reliant on adults for their well-being. But women and men are both equally valuable as humans and I feel that this special mention of women is a perfect example of the misandry and double-standard that is rampant in the media these days.
If a ship were sinking and I was allowed to board a lifeboat just because of my sex, I would decline. As a child-free woman I would much rather my seat be taken by a loving father.
Thank you for any answers.
News–>Media–>Viewers–>Commercials–>Money!!!
Men are more sensitive towards the death of women than women are towards the death of men. The death of a child is always a touching matter. Tears, cry, pain = more viewers = more commercials = more money. Yes, TV is that cynical.
