Independent Newspapers Reviews

 

All in a day's work

I am based in an open plan environment and find my interaction with the newsroom staff most interesting and enjoyable. Stories and experiences are shared and advise offered on a daily basis. Being tactful, while yet caring, is a requirement when dealing with irate readers. Working for more than one editor can be challenging at times, at that's where my excellent planning and organisational skills come to play

Pros: exciting working environment
Cons: company restructuring

To work in a team and persevere

My typical day is work is overwhelming as everyday is different. I try and bring in new clients on a daily basis, at the same time re-visit old ones. I love working in a team and working towards a monthly target and facing challenges of deadlines. I have learnt how to be diverse and can relate to many people on different levels. I enjoy reaching my target and reaping the rewards. The most challenging aspects of my job is winning the client over and having them to advertise in our publication.

Pros: Right now we are facing retrenchment
Cons: You have to make you 40 calls per day

Great Learning Curve which added to my career experience

Independent Newspapers was a wonderful place to work at. The staff there is really friendly and always smiling. What I really appreciate about working for the time that I've been there is the kind of clients that we were dealing with and getting a better understanding on how advertising really works in the newspaper industry. However the reason I decided to leave is because I really feel like I need new challenges that will require me to express my creativity.

Pros: Working with recognised clients in the country
Cons: No Creative Challenge
