Too old to become a journalist: How to get the perfect CV – advice from the industry & Too old to become a journalist: CV analysis #1, Journalism.co.uk
The new year brings with it the startling reality that I have got less than a month left on my NCTJ course.
I don’t know which scares me more: having to pass my exams in three weeks; or having to find a job. Probably both in equal measure.
While trying to decipher the difference between a ‘revenue support grant’ and ‘relative needs formulae’, I am also overhauling my CV.

- How do you make it stand out?
- How many pages should it be?
- Should you play it really straight?

* Get 20 households to ’subscribe’ by giving you their email address and asking for a free subscription. You can use direct contact or flyers or speeches to get your list.
As old media races to catch up with the Web and figure out how to successfully monetize print content online, one publication is taking a drastically different approach: web to print.
The Printed Blog, a startup founded and funded by former business productivity software entrepreneur Joshua Karp, is launching a twice-daily free print newspaper in cities across the country aggregating localized blog posts.
“Why hasn’t anyone tried to take the best content and bring it offline?” said Karp, who thinks print media is far from dying.
