Work experience at The Coventry Telegraph

Work experience with The Coventry Telegraph started off with trying to get into the building itself. After a 7am start and a rather tense car journey spent driving around Coventry trying to find the offices themselves, I wasn’t expecting such an obstacle so early on in the day. Little did I know that the public front entrance didn’t open until 9am precisely, so I rattled at the two entrances I could see, ignored by the people inside; I must have seemed like an angry interviewee who had been misquoted or something, desperately crawling away at the door.

Work experience troubles

After sending off my BBC News application after over six weeks of writing it (I gave it a rest during exams) I was surprised at the rapid response of my rejection the next morning. Hours of writing about my ‘suitability’, ‘education’ and ‘experience’ about a placement for the BBC resulted in five seconds of skimming an email to tell me I’m unsuccessful and they can provide no feedback as to why.

Middle Class March.

The 7am start was NOT welcomed, especially after a 2pm bedtime - specifically due to distractions online, this really has got to stop before it gets started!!
