Black Beauty & Hair Magazine
As part of my Professional Media Practice module in my first year, it was a requirement for me to undertake at least 70 hours of work experience.
I undertook a two week placement with Black Beauty & Hair Magazine where I learnt a lot and which has helped me improve a lot in terms of my writing.
I worked with the team as the Editorial Assistant where I had the option to devise interview questions for guests that would be featured within the magazine, calling up various companies to request high resolution images, using press releases to create short descriptive pieces about various hair, beauty, perfume and skin care products that would feature in the magazine as well.
I had also had the opportunity to call and conduct telephone interviews with some Award-winning hairstylists who too would be featured in the magazines and those pieces would be featured within the magazine as well.
The issue of the magazine that I worked for was the August/September issue, I learnt a lot about myself and feel as though I grew a lot during the course of the time that I was doing my placement. I thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks that I was there.
