Newspapers - company's, firms, establishments????

[taliesin238]

I am taking my CV into my local newpaper to ask if they have any vacancies however, what do i call them when referring to them??? ie " I am really interested in your firm, company, establishment??? Is there another more suited word?? This may seem like a strange question!!

[mrs_overall]

Publication(s)?

[taliesin238]

Publishing firm???? mmmm??

[ELVIS68]

Newspaper?

[taliesin238]

mmm??? Could it be that simple??? Here is exactly what i want to say

" I am always willing to learn new skills and take on challenging roles. I am very much a people person and I thrive off working as part of a professional team. These are just the reasons as to why I have my eye on your ???? .

yeah newpaper may fit there, what do you think?

[ELVIS68]

I wouldn`t bother saying anything until you get an interview

Good luck anyway

You should always put in a letter when dropping off your CV.......Apparently.
I dont think newspaper would go actually cos the building actually holds 3 different newspapers!!!???

[the arab]

from what u just wrote u may aswell go to a russian newspaper. Your power of english sucks. U can listen to all the no life losers on here aka red and co about what to do but face the facts. Y have they got so much time on their hands? Because they are successful people? Lol. Give ur cv. U will have no response.

i thinks mrs_overall is right. You should refer to them as publications.

or as they're all newspapers possibly tabloids.

I work for my local newspaper and I know that they do not offer any jobs with people just approaching them on the off chance. They advertise any vacancies in their titles/website and this is the only way they recruit. They are a "local" paper but are owned by a very large corporation. Do they have a website you could access with details of how to apply for jobs with them?

People dont use answerbank to show off their english skills!! The speed im typing along with doing 4 other things on my pc i really dont care about how my english comes accross!! Yes I know my spelling is bad but i dont care about that either. ive just graduated after writing a lot of essay based exams that lasted for three hours.
Lets face it anyway arab your not axactly Mr articulate yourself are you!!

Good grammar and perfect spelling comes naturally to those who are capable of doing it. One does not need to make poor excuses for their failure in their speech and writing.

Organisation

I couldn't agree more lajohn!

I think Cheekychick makes a valid point too.

Everyone knows the Media Industry is highly competitive and difficult to get jobs in. I dont think many people walk in off the streets and hand in their CV these days. That's what i did when i was 16 and looking for my first job in retail.

If you're trying to be recruited on a permanent basis i'd take CheekyChicks advice and email them and do things properly.

[mccfluff]

publication would be right but what area are you interested in, as in our paper we have reporters, photograhers, telesales, field sales, distribution finance and hr. personally speaking if you cv ended up on my desk it would help if i new which department you would be interested in!

[taliesin238]

Yeah I can understand that mccfluff. This was just a sudden mad idea I have had!! I may not even post it in yet anyway. I have stated that I would be interested in any office work. Getting my foot into a company is what I am mainly interested in now after finishing in uni. I have had many job offers so it was literally just an off the cuff idea in case all else falls through.
