I am interested in joining the Air Force, and after browsing through their website, I have found that it is very unclear as to where you could and would be placed.
I am currently in college majoring in nursing with a minor in journalism. Is there any way to ensure that I would have a placement pertaining to one of these subjects?

I have work experience next year and I want to try and secure a placement at a radio station/newspaper/magazine. I’ve decided to type different letters for each place, this one is for my local BBC because on their website it says about work experience placements. Please can someone tell me if this is too formal or i’m being too arrogant? I have said about my high grades in R.E and that i am good at English because they will get a lot of placements so I have to compete with other people. Do you think I should attach the letter they sent home about my r.e award or my report, or do you think that would be too much? Sorry that it’s so long. Many thanks in advance for reading it all!

Dear Sir/Madame,

My name is ___________; I am currently fourteen years old and go to school at _____________. Next year I will be in year ten and I will be doing my work experience for ten days from March 28th to April 8th. I am very passionate about news journalism; I am also very interested in politics and religion as I believe they are two very controversial topics that are constantly making interesting headlines in the news. By reading newspapers, reading online articles and watching news programs (usually the BBC); I have become more interested in religion and politics and have already started achieving awards and high grades for my effort and dedication to religious education because I am filled with the ambition to do well in this subject that I enjoy greatly and love. Furthermore, when I am old enough I would like to pursue a career in news journalism and I was wondering if the BBC took on year tens (fifteen year olds) for unpaid work experience.

I would like to work at the BBC for work experience because I think that I could gain a lot of knowledge about the process of writing news articles by watching journalists working at a popular and experienced news company such as the BBC. I love to write and put maximum effort in English class because I enjoy writing greatly and know that it is essential for the career path I want to follow. I also think that by doing work experience at the BBC I would be able to see how a news company’s office works and what the pros and cons are involved in working in the journalism industry. I am enthusiastic about learning how the journalism industry works; I am confident when it comes to speaking and communicating as I know communication is key when it comes to getting things done sufficiently and meeting important deadlines. Lastly, I am also passionate about journalism because news stories are what people want to read; they want to know what is happening in the world or their local community and it is very important to be aware with what is happening as news is one of the most important things that makes life interesting.

I am hopeful that you will reply to me to let me know if it is possible for you to take on year tens for work experience. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter,

Yours faithfully,

Are there any job search engines for someone who has majored in Communication Arts, in the track of Journalism & PR?

I have used craigslist, monster, local newspapers, non-profit websites, but desire to find more…

I appreciate any information.

Thanks!
