Moving from magazines to government content work, with Nigel Bartlett

About this episode

With the last year bringing so much uncertainty to the media industry, many journalists are choosing to parlay their skills into content roles in the public sector - and what's not to love? Job security, a regular paycheck and super make this an attractive proposition. But what do you need to know before you take the leap? Journo Nigel Bartlett, who's currently working as a content designer in a government role, joins us to share his tips on:

- Updating your LinkedIn so you're attractive to government agencies and have a desirable skillset
- How to find the right jobs - either via LinkedIn or agencies recruiters or HR departments
- At what stage you should negotiate flexibility (eg working off-site, even part of the time)
- How to assess whether a government role is right for you
- Skills that are important and those you'll pick up (Nigel's picked up some great UX skills which are in high demand)
- And much more.
