12.When I graduated with a degree in English Literature from Exeter University,my head was filled with ideas about what I wanted to do next.Work experience helped me narrow down my choices to a top two:publishing and teaching.The only problem was deciding which one to choose!
Eventually,I applied for a job at a local magazine.It was a small team so I had the opportunity to get connected with all aspects of magazine publishing from editorial to advertising.I was promoted to assistant editor and enjoyed the mix of creativity and business skills necessary for the role.
When I started to consider my next career move,my thoughts turned to educational publishing.I loved working at the magazine,but I wanted to do something which combined my love of education too.I spotted the job opportunity for the Cambridge University Press Graduate Programme.
The recruitment (招聘) process for the Graduate Programme was certainly strict,including a spoken reasoning test,a personality test,a phone interview and an assessment day.The best advice I can give to anyone applying for a programme like this is to be yourself and don't be afraid to show your personality.
I was excited when I found out that I'd got the job.During the programme,I got the opportunity to work on our latest digital products,travel to book fairs abroad,visit schools to meet our customers,manage our social media accounts and sign off books to be published.I received fantastic support from colleagues at the Press,not just from my line manager and tutor,but everyone I met along the way.
Working in lots of different departments around the Press helped me identify where I wanted to end up and now I have a role which fits my interests and skills,working on content development in the Cambridge Learning for Schools team.
It's been a brilliant experience and I can fully recommend the Cambridge University Press Graduate Programme.Even if it's been a couple of years since you left university,the programme is a great way to get into publishing and progress your career,so go for it!
