hello and welcome back to my channel I'm so excited for this video because I'm so happy
I'm genuinely really happy because my life has just done a bit of a 360 a bit of a 180. also
excuse the state of me I have my hair bleached recently and I actually really don't like it and
I'm just shove it back for the purpose of this video but I just wanted to film while it was
still really raw like it's still really fresh it only happened today but yeah as many of you
um might already know I've been in the publishing industry for maybe like three or four years now
and I've decided to do a bit of a career change and move out of publishing but stay within the
marketing and publicity sector obviously you know that I do YouTube tick tocks Instagram and stuff
and I'm all things content and social media and so I saw a job online that I applied for and it
actually happening it's what I'm gonna be doing I don't even know like where to start but basically
I saw it on indeed and I applied for it and they contacted me and came in for an interview the
interview was only yesterday but I had such good Good Vibes following it I came out and sent my
boyfriend and my family a big long text explaining it saying that I just had really positive feedback
they really like the office space was really nice so it's actually a radio a local radio station so
I got to see the radio and the room it was in felt the conversation went really really well
um they had the next interviewer coming in and he sort of sent them away for 15 more minutes that we
could carry on chatting which I thought was a good sign and yeah I just felt that it really matched
to what I'd already been doing and also what I'm actually interested in you know I also studied
radio at College as well so I had experience there and an interest there the role was actually for
a content creator but looking at the jobs back it was a lot of marketing stuff as well so it was SEO
and um social media that stuff and then I had this really successful interview and they said oh we've
got a couple more tomorrow which was today um but we'll let you know by the end of the week because
today's Friday so I'd been wondering all day when they were going to contact me and stupidly forgot
that we'd been messing over indeed in LinkedIn so they'd already messaged me on LinkedIn at half ten
this morning to say have you got time for a quick phone call if so what's the number and I got the
phone call and I was so happy so if you don't know and I don't really know what like order I'm
putting these videos out or anything but I handed in my resignation to my job this Monday so like
four days ago didn't technically have a backup plan I knew I wanted to come out of publishing
um and I didn't realize that it would be so soon I jumped into a new job which I'm so happy about
because obviously I was stressed about what I was going to do I was stressing about having a break
I was stressing about money so to have resigned on the Monday and got a new job by the Friday
oh I'm so happy yes so they phoned me up and they just said they're really impressed with
my interview I'm obviously really creative and I have a lot of skills that they feel like I
could bring to the company as a result they didn't actually want to offer me content creator but they
said we'd like to offer you the role of senior content creator this means that I'll be doing a
bit more stuff and it'll also mean I'll be doing some radio presenting as well then I would have
they're hiring another content creator and they'd have someone below me and I would be managing them
and working with them on the overall strategy of all things marketing um in terms of what the job
actually entails is to be TBC it's a small local company and therefore I think that it's going to
work really my favorite in terms of having a lot of flexibility having a lot of ownership over it
I'm just so just like really excited and happy like had such a relief handed in my resignation
and now such relief to know that I have got something there and it's something that I actually
really wanted to do I wasn't just jumping into the first job that came up next but rather it's
something I've always been interested in my mum's always said I can see you doing you know a radio
presenting or TV presenting um the team seemed really great and really experienced have come
from all different walks of life um TV shows the likes of Capital FM and ITV the station is really
local to me it's literally a 10 minute drive it just feels like everything is honestly perfect
but everything is perfect everything is lined up it feels like it's me to a t the actual job sounds
great the people sound great the company sounds great the location sounds great um I'm gonna
slightly miss being in central London but you know it's not far for me just get trained up for the
day yeah so that's what I'm going to be doing so I'm definitely going to be taking my YouTube to
the next level hopefully as well showing you the behind the scenes of working at a radio show and
doing content there we'll also be going out and doing different events and stuff which is part of
the role so um when we have like a pop-up radio gazebo and taking it out to different events and
stuff so I'll be doing some content there um supporting local businesses and having various
interviews on as well as I said TBC in terms of like the actual specifics of what I'm going to be
doing I'm I'm sure I'll share that with you in time but essentially it's going to be a lot of
content a lot of social media a lot of marketing stuff a lot of strategy stuff for them to have
come back to me and actually offered me something higher up than what I initially applied for and
therefore the corresponding salary that comes with that that was so just made me feel so good because
I feel like I've been in that position where I've been out of work for a little bit and it's hard
to obviously promote yourself and put yourself out there and sell yourself to people you know
I have got a couple of rejections and that can be a bit like demotivating so to have this and
on a Friday it just made me feel really good really happy I've told some friends and family
and they're all really pleased as well I'm just really happy because it just sounds really good
um so I'll be starting this soon so I'm not sure I'll probably put this out because it's the start
of August now and I imagine I'll be starting in September I feel like I sound really um not happy
but I am I just I'm trying to be quite quiet um but yeah I am so happy it sounds so up my street
it's the move that I wanted to make it's the in the sort of Industry that I want to work in and
it just looks very very positive I cannot fault it at the moment I'm sure I will be bringing you
along with me on the journey yeah what this also means is goodbye publishing I'm not gonna be in
publishing anymore I don't for now see myself working in publishing ever again in the future
um but you know never say never that might be the case however um this is definitely the right step
forward for me it was definitely the right thing to do to leave publishing when I did so you may
have noticed over the last few months as well that my content on social media has started
to shift from books and Publishing to other things such as General Corporate well-being
and self-care and so if that's of interest to you then please do stick around and yeah I guess
that's my big news I'm leaving my job I'm leaving publishing I'm leaving the industry and I'm doing
something that feels already like it's going to be much better for me and I can't wait to get started
