Job Club
Starting out. Changing career. Getting into publishing.
This is a free online Job Club for people trying to get their first role in UK book publishing.
What happens at the Job Club
Online group Zoom call
This is an interactive group call, not a webinar. You can take part, ask questions and interact directly with Suzanne and other Job Club members
A different theme each time
Every Job Club is different, with a theme focusing on a particular aspect of starting your career in book publishing. Recurring themes include CVs, covering letters, job applications and transferable skills
Current trends
Suzanne shares current trends, including what she is seeing in job advertisements and recruitment, changes in the employment market, recent client experiences and insider information from her conversations with HR teams and recruiters across book publishing
Your questions answered
Bring your questions. We usually answer more than 20 questions from Job Club members at every meeting, covering everything from job hunting and recruitment to careers and working in book publishing
An opportunity to speak to Suzanne one-to-one
At the end of most Job Clubs, Suzanne offers up to six short one-to-one conversations for anyone who has something they would prefer to discuss privately. These are an opportunity to ask a personal question about your job search or career that you may not want to raise in the group
Meet other Job Club members
There is also a completely optional networking chat for anyone who would like to stay behind and meet other Job Club members. We'll help get the conversation started, so you won't be left wondering what to say
The first rule of Job Club...
