When and for whom?

Well I started to get involved when I was 16 in terms of asking newspaper's work experience during summer holidays with newspapers. Basically I wrote off to every single one in Leicestershire sent an already stamped envelope with them and just hoped for the best. Leicester Mercury are aware of me, they even dated when I sent in 3 letters previously last time I got a letter back.

I got a break at Hinckley Times and I failed to use to my advantage. The same applied to when I was offered an excellent chance at Coalville Times two years later but I was far too lazy to follow it up.

If you can build up a portfolio of people who you know involved with telephone numbers, making good impressions as well it helps a lot. They just love volunteer work.

Radio is a lot easier to take into as well and could be another starting point. I don't know enough about it but a friend of a friend works for Radio Essex in relation to Southend United because he put some legwork in when he was about 14 with Takeover Radio.

That's what I learnt from my very brief, half-attempt at trying to crack it. If the chance ever comes to write freelance and independant of anything, I may just give a go.

Thanks Hazz :038:

Radio is something that he's considered before.
I also know of somebody who contributed to Takeover Radio and is now a sports reporter for Radio 5.

I've got to organise two weeks work experience for him for July 2008 and will take on board what you've just said.

Dear Mr Hazzmaniac

With reference to your previous correspondence with the Muckraker newspaper group, when will you get the message? Will you ever leave us in peace?
I acknowledge your letter of 3 June 2006, your subsequent letter of 1 July 2006 and your following, slightly abusive, letter dated 13 April 2007.
I also acknowledge our replies to your letters at those particular times, in which we unambiguously informed you of our lack of interest.
Whilst we are aware of the growing population of Polish immigrants to Leicester city centre and it's environs, we simply do not think that a correspondent to the Polish leagues is required to furnish their needs at this time.
We wish you luck with your future endeavours as a corporation window checker and thank you for your interest in the Muckraker Newspaper group.

Bestest regards

Joey Deacon
Head of personell & window licking

They were tough but fair with you Hazz, tough but fair.
Take it on the chin son.
 
It's every 4 year old child's dream job (or 18 years old in my case) :icon_bigg
