Role play: should I or shouldn't I?

Posted by anonymous about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 12 responses

Ha – bet you got excited then. No, I’m talking about role play of the job interview variety. I’ve got one on Monday (for a press officer job), and it includes a 45min role play, followed by a 45 min interview. I’m breaking out in a cold sweat just writing about it. Has anyone had expe...

How can I make a kick-ass media CV?

Posted by KinkyFantastic about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 14 responses

As is generally unsurprising in the media, I am about to become unemployed. I’m a second-jobber with a fairly good job history, but I need to make a CV to convince people of this and also that a raise would be a really justified option. My current CV is quite swish, but apparently has too much white space, ...

A work-related ‘help me FridayCities!’ post: I work for a very tiny charity that supports local peacebuilding projects in conflict areas. We have in the pipeline a new snazzy website to tell the world about these amazing and inspiring people trying to make our world a nicer place, and we think it needs a...

Which is London's best headhunter?

I’m after a good headhunter who specialises in the creative field, so not your Reed Employment-type of place. Are White Door still going? How about Kendall Tarrant? I’m ready for all their bullshit, I just don’t have their names. Thank you.

Danny Wallace Must be stopped. Who's with me?

Danny Wallace. Once just the lovable sidekick of an original; albeit media savvy stand up comedian, who was down with the kids. Well, the thirtysomethings who hark back to the halcyon days of summer ‘77…. Anyway, I digress. Danny Wallace is in danger of becoming another Stuart – bloody What&...

Does everyone have to have a fucking job in media?

Okay, okay, I know – there are a few of us in IT or teaching or maybe even filling shelves, but why does it seem like everybody in FCL is a budding web developer or media person or something similar? I lack the vocabulary that, no doubt, recruitment people use when trying to hire these people. I’m sure t...

Does anyone else think that London Lite are making themselves look like pathetic idea-less children?

Posted by unknown about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 8 responses

Does anyone else find the story of London Lite releasing footage of The London Paper being dumped by a couple of distributors a bit – yunno – pathetic? Obviously there are vendors for both papers who dump copies rather than handing them out. Advertisers must surely know this. Everyone knows this. They...

What's on in London RIP

According to Media Guardian this title has ceased publication as of today, leaving several contributors and staff out of pocket I don’t think I ever read a copy. Apparently Stewart Lee wrote for them. Who knew? Did any FCLers read it? Were we missing out? Will we forever miss out? Will a viable alternative ...

Do you think all Guardian readers are lefties?

Posted by Flashboy about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 160 responses

In another thread about the bible and race, the phrase ‘Guardian reading lefty’ or variations thereof comes up on a couple of occasions, used in a sort of vaguely disparaging way. What I don’t understand, is who on earth (or London, this being FCL) thinks the Guardian is left-wing? I suppose it has...

The latest edition of Private Eye has extracts from Flat Earth News, a supposed exposee of the machinations of the global media. I doubt the underlying premise of the book will surpise many of you: That consumers are – intentionally and unintentionally – fed a mass of false information. From the Milleni...
