STAROOT JOURNAL INTERNSHIPS/LEARNERSHIPS Bursaries in Journalism Are you a thrill seeker with a passion for adventure and life? Then journalism might be the career path you have been looking for. Bursaries are a financial aid given to deserving candidates to study into a field that they love. Can you handle the world of media?

Here are some of the most commonly found study fields found with journalism:

Journalism, Media Studies, Information gathering & processing

Laws & Policies, Photojournalism

Electronic Media, Publishing For an applicant to qualify as a bursary student the following has to be met.

You have to be a South African citizen with a valid ID Book / ID Card.

You have to be able to prove the need for financial assistance.

You have to be able to prove a willingness to learn as well as a passion for the field of study chosen and outstanding academic records.

Many journalism courses are available although a Bachelor in Journalism will take 4 years to complete. A Master degree will only be another 2 year study period after you have completed your Bachelor degree and for a PhD you can add another 2 years to that at least.

There are a number of companies providing bursaries for these and many other fields of study that one could consider for a bursary.

You can have a look at: Media 24, NEMISA BIKO, Ekurhuleni

They all have bursaries available each year in these fields of study.

To become a great journalist a candidate should be able to work under pressure with no problems and adhere to deadlines. Candidates have to be detail orientated with exceptional people skills.

Are you always curious, asking question after question and never giving up until you know everything?

Journalists are required for many industries such as radio, television, and newspapers as well as online. They should be honest and reliable bringing news to readers that are informative.

Journalist studies prepare students to function as writers, editors and reporters for magazines and other forms of media. There is also public relations, marketing and advertising to consider as career paths with journalism.

Are you a real ‘go getter’ that loves the rush? Do you love tracking down the truth and spreading the word? Journalism is an exciting career with never a dull moment! Do you have excellent listening skills as well as knowing which questions to ask? Can you take the lead and do what is required when the time comes? If you feel this is what you want then make your application and enter a whole new world.

STAROOT JOURNAL KASIE BIZ PROFILE “How to answer behavior al inter view questions”

E

veryone knows that companies invite candidates for a job interview to see if they’re suitable for the vacancy at the company. Not only do potential employees have to possess the necessaryskills to successfully complete their projects and duties if they were to land the job, but this person also has to be a good fit within a professional environment.

While companies aren’t judging you on your tastes (your favourite ice-cream flavour or music genre), they are judging your values, character, and vices. If they can fish how you’d react in certain situations, if they can get a sense of what type of choices you’ll make in a given work situation, then they’ll be able to decide if you’ll be an asset or liability to their organisation.

And they’ve created a great way to get this sense: by asking you about past behaviour so that they can predict what your future behaviour will be like. That’s why in every job interview you attend, you will be asked at least one behavioural question.

…failed and how you dealt with it. …struggled to build a relationship with someone important. How did you overcome it?

What they really want to do is explain how you’ve dealt with various professional situations, how you handle difficulties, and which soft skills you possess.

How to answer behavioural questions: The best way to answer this type of question is to follow the

S-T-A-R method: S = Situation Provide a context and describe the background.

You should try to answer: How was the problem brought to light?

Example: At my last company, we had been receiving a big amount of negative reviews from our customers.

T = Task Describe the problem and the challenges of the situation.

You should try to answer: What was wrong?

Behavioural questions usually begin with: Example: I voluntarily joined the task force that was created to find “Tell us about...” a solution, and I was voted to be the leader. …your proudest professional achievement.

A = Action …a time you were dissatisfied at work.

Explain what you did to try and fix the problem. …a time when you worked under extremely close supervision and You should try to answer: What moves did you make? how you handled it.

Example: We analysed customer service feedback for the next ...a successful presentation you gave and why you think it was a 2 weeks and noticed a pattern: most complaints were about unhit. professional customer service staff. I called regular brainstorming “Give an example of when…” sessions to come with viable solutions. Eventually, we decided to …you were able to be creative with your work. What was exciting hold ongoing sessions with customer service staff to offer better or difficult about it? guidelines to handling customers, while paying extra attention to …you had to explain something complicated to a frustrated client. those who seemed to have less patience and/or shorter tempers …you had to rely on written correspondence to get your ideas than others to minimise the effects of stressful encounters. across to your team.
