BBC Step Up Training Scheme '08 finally finishing her selecting period, exactly one week later after candidates' group participation and personal interview, the Scheme selection board releases the ultimate 30 winners.
I'm very pround that I'm one of selected candidate,to be honestly,the group discussion assessment is a bit intense comparing with personal interview.
Because I never have such kind of experience of discussing with a group only after 15min brainstorm, plus couple of BBC stuffs're watching us during the discussion.
My mind doesn't go to blank at that moment,thank god, though nearly blank if I could say that, still, I remain cool...
Bringing tutors a good news
I told Deborah and David immediately about my success, they're very glad, especially david, I genuinely thanks for his teaching.
He told me some tips for being a journalist afterwards, for instance, he said I have to be even more competitive during the training.
Because what BBC normally does is keep a bit more candidates even after the final selection.
They will stil watching our progress during the training, if they feel I'm not in that standard, it's very possible for them to kick me out. Gosh!
When inquiring him about my radio documentary contacts, he said my best bet is to contact journalists from other publicaitons, who specialised to write these kind of articles.
Phone the newspaper office, talk to them what I want, ask them if I can get this particular journalist's contact, or if the newspaper could kindly provide me other suggestions.
Press card is essential, if haven't got one, try to get one press card, such as NUJ press card, preparing one business card, it will help for sure.
