Recruitment

Trying to get a job in media is extremely competetive and being a candidate running for a job is extremely hard. While recruiting for a job for big companies or even a small one, they expect for candidates to have either an online or paper portfolio. This gives the employee an opportunity to see what standard your work is and how good you are in certain areas of creative media. They will also expect to see a CV which will be built around the job you are applying for, for example if you are applying for a radio presenting job then design your CV around radio and how you've done experience in creating your own radio shows and why your interested in radio. Then a covering letter which will explain to the employee in detail why you are interested in the job vacancy, how you've found out about it and what you've previously done in detail to why you should be chosen over other people applying for the job. To apply for a job you can go onto mediaweekjobs.com or you can also go on http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/jobs/media/, this is the typical standard way to apply for a job. You can also use networking from your work experience and volunteering to be able to start on small jobs like being a runner on a film production and then work your way up.
