Unit 11: Points I need to consider when being interviewed

• I need to act in a professional manner so I seem responsible, trustworthy and mature. This will improve my chance of getting the job because, I'm showing the interviewer that I am reliable. 
• I will need to explain my answers so I can add lots of depth and detail. 
• Stay calm when the interviewer asks me a question so I don't start to panic.
• Try to big myself up but don't show off too much.
• I need show good body language so it looks like I'm listening to the interviewer. 
• Smile at appropriate times.
• And always be positive about myself. 

Unit 11: Questions for the Interviewer

1. How much detail do you want me to go into about player statistics?
2. How much commentary do you require me to do? (in minutes)
3. How do you intend to record my commentary?
4. Will this job lead to more future commentary jobs?

Unit 11: Key Points about the Job Role and Responsibilities

A commentary role means that you need to talk over a sporting event to deliver the information of whats happening over TV and radio. It is easier to commentate over TV because the audience can see whats happening therefore you don't need to give as much detail. This means its harder to commentate over the radio because you have to describe the action in more detail so the audience can visualise themselves watching the game or event. As a commentator you not only need to describe the action, you need to tell the audience about statistics and conduct interviews. As a commentator it is your responsibility to describe to the audience the action. In addition to this, you need to tell the audience facts and statistics relevant to the end. Also, you are responsible for conducting the interviews.

Unit 11: Screenshots of CV

Firstly, I put my name and contact details at the top of my CV so they the employer can contact me if they need too. 

After I the did a personal profile and highlighted my skills that the employer will want to know. 

I then put in my GCSE qualifications and which school I got them at. 

Then I spoke about my previous work experience and also my old work places.

I then went into more detail about myself and talked about what I do in my spare time.

Finally, added my references at the bottom.

Unit 11: Screenshots of Covering Letter

I put my name and contact details on the top of my covering letter so that they can stand out to the employer. 

I then put down the address of the employer, and because I didn't know the person name, I put "To Whom It May Concern".

This is my first paragraph on my covering letter, in this paragraph I talked about why I was interested in the job, and gave a quick outline of my basic skills.

In my second paragraph, I talked briefly about where I am studying at the moment, and talked about some work experience that I had done related to the media. 

Then I talked more specifically about commentary and gave the name of my favourite commentator. 

I then ended my covering letter by saying why I am right for this job and putting my name at the bottom.

Unit 11: Task 1 My Action Plan

My Action Plan:

My ideal job in the media:

My ideal job in the media is a football commentator and/or journalist. I would like to do this job because I have a passion for football and would like a career that is football related. I chose commentary and journalism because I looking behind the scenes of clubs and at footballing statistics. 

The skills, qualifications and experience required:

I currently have 13 GCSE's (12 of which are A*- C) including a B in English, an A in Maths and a B in Media Studies. This helped me get into college where I am currently doing Media in my 2nd year. I will hopefully get my target grade which is a merit, this will give me enough UCAS points to be able to get into University. If I get into University then I will do a sport journalism for 3 years where I will learn most of the skills I will need to become a commentator/journalist. Hopefully I will get the degree, and then I will apply for the Sky Academy. This will get me more experience and then hopefully get me a job at Sky Sports, if not at the BBC, ITV, Channel 5 or BT Sport. I also have experience of what its like in the media industry as I have done two lots of work experience, editing "So What?" and filming "Worksop's Got Talent".
