This is a picture of a Newspaper with a TV channel job in it that is in need. It shows what experiences you need and what qualifications you need to apply for this job about a TV channel. An advantage of finding a job in a newspaper is that if your a newspaper reader but not so much as a internet looker, there are a-cations where there can be supermarket jobs or jobs where it goes with your qualifications and experiences. But on the internet you have to search up websites and you may not find websites with jobs in need. Another advantage of looking in a newspaper for jobs is that the newspaper you are reading is a local newspaper, so it's someone close. Whereas on the internet you have to find pacific TV or Film jobs that are around where you live, because some jobs on the internet may be far away from your home. 

There are also advantages from looking on the internet for TV or Film jobs

Trade Press

Trade press consists of all printed media that is Business to Business oriented. Examples from my own experience include What's New in Farming, Livestock Farming, Farmers' Guardian, Farmers' Weekly, The Engineer, Cast Metals, and so on. The sector includes specialized newspapers as well as journals and includes professional journals that have both an academic and 'trade' readership. Below are two screenshots about a magazine that has jobs that are needed. This magazine is from the website, 'pro.box office.com'. http://pro.boxoffice.com/latest-news/2015-09-23-boxoffice-pro-august-2015-issue?q=BoxOffice+Pro+--+ The last screenshot is the back page of the magazine and the actual magazine cover is the first screenshot. It shows you what jobs are available that go with the magazine. First it has a title saying job wanted or other. Then it will say what type of media job is it and what company needs it to be filled. At the bottom it will then say the salary and how you contact them to apply.

Skills and Qualifications

Level 3: A Level 3 qualification is equivalent to a A level, it represents a range of knowledge and skills, including detailed knowledge of one or more areas. Level 3 corresponds to job roles where students are required to work independently.

Graduate: Once you have left University, College, or a Apprenticeship you then graduate and get the job that you have qualifications in. Making your way through to graduation, you obviously need to do go to school and do exams, then you will decide between Sixth Form, College or go straight to work. Hopefully before you choose where you want to go after school, you have decided what you want to be when you are older. It doesn't matter which one out of them you go to next, whatever goes with the job you want. Then after them three choices, you can go to University, College (if haven't been), a Apprenticeship or go straight into work. Then you can graduate after you have got all the qualifications you need for your job.

Personal Skills: Personal Skills are really important to use while working in your job. These skills can be Punctual. Punctual is a skill where you arrive on time and you make sure you aren't late, so you plan what time you get out of bed and what time do you leave the house to go to work. Focus is an important skill to use, it helps you concentrate and helps you to get the work done and dusted.

Technological Skills: The Technological Skills I have are from using

• Photoshop
• Windows
• I movie
• Movie Maker
• Consoles such as PS4 and XboxOne
• Prezi

Technological Skills are good to use if you are in a office job or especially if you are working in either TV or Film. It will be very useful to work in TV and Film by learning the Technological Skills I movie, Movie Maker, Windows, Photoshop and many more. Another example, if you would like to be a games design, then it will be good to have learned the Technological Skills in Consoles. To see what the design is like in games.

Training Skills: Training Skills can only be fully learned by going round to the place you will work in. By doing this you will then hopefully be able to know where every room is. For example, if you were working in a cinema then you can be trained to memorise where every room is such as, every screen, every staff room, every fire exit and other important rooms. You will also be trained how to use the computers that workers use to give people tickets to go see films, that is if you are working on them computers.

Training on the job: On the job training is when a newcomer comes to work at the job and gets trained while in working times.

Advantages

have to pay to train the newcomer.

- Another advantage can be that the employee can

learn how to work inside the work place when people

are working already. This then gives the employee

better experience.

Disadvantages

distract the other workers from doing their work.
