    As a new cohort of journalists graduate and enter the jobs market, the gang thought they’d delve into the archive to share an advice pack episode to help those looking for work!

We cover the whole process, from how to create a brand for yourself to pitching stories to editors. We also discuss pivoting as a butler, and scrutinise their CVs! How will Emma and Lily score on our leaderboard?
