    You most probably will have experience in one medium of media or will have your eye on one medium of media. But that doesn’t stop you from creating a general journalist resume; especially if you are looking to transition from one medium of media to another.

    This resume is a strong general journalist resume. It concentrates on the applicant's extensive experience in researching stories and gathering information; a skill that applies to journalism in all media mediums. It also shows a strong educational background in journalism, which is a necessity in the journalism field.

    Tips to help you write your Journalist resume in 2022

       Create and maintain a portfolio.

    In journalism, being able to showcase the stories you have researched and written is as important, if not more important, than your resume. So as you get experience, be sure to compile all your strongest stories into a portfolio for recruiters to have a look at alongside your resume.

    Also see: What to Include in Your Resume Header

       Include all previous roles in media.

    Being able to show that you are experienced in the media industry, even if it’s not directly in journalism, can be a benefit to applicants. So don’t shy away from including any editor, reporter, writer, etc roles that you successfully played.

    I had a clear uptick in responses after using your template. I got many compliments on it from senior hiring staff, and my resume scored way higher when I ran it through ATS resume scanners because it was more readable. Thank you!

    "My free resume review was truly eye-opening. I found out why I wasn't getting interviews and exactly what to add to get past resume screeners. I've already had way more callbacks since I used it. I recommend it to all my friends who are job searching."
