@ZuraidahCTV On Interns:

"I see a lot of interns come through CTV, we offer them opportunities and I think a lot of them don't want to be inconvenienced. The ones that get ahead are the ones that do the time, and do the work, who genuinely want to be there to learn" #RJAATALKS

We're here at The Big Question panel!

Featuring:
@xtinagonzales, @JeyanTVO, @mahamabedi, @racheldavid, @siomo & @ZuraidahCTV

[RJAA @RyeJournAlumni]

@Siomo On Pitching:

"I get hundreds of pitches a day. Most of them are listers, they pay no attention to tailoring it to the outlet they send it to. You have to bring an element of value to the audience perspective, and a different approach to something" #RJAATALKS

[RJAA @RyeJournAlumni]

@JeyanTVO On Unpaid Internships:

"I believe that if you are doing the job of a journalist, you should be paid. When I was doing my internship, I wasn't thinking about money, I was looking to gain experience, so that was the drive for me" #RJAATALKS

[RJAA @RyeJournAlumni]

@mahamabedi On Crticism:

"There are times when I feel like I should just stop covering the stories that I cover, because it just gets too much. . . But you have to remember why your doing it, it's for those people who are silent" #RJAATALKS

[RJAA @RyeJournAlumni]

@RachelDavid On Career:

"Whatever your building right now, it's all part of you building your profile and your brand. So if you don't necessarily end up where you want, just remember that there's many jobs out there that will help you build your skillset" #RJAATALKS

[RJAA @RyeJournAlumni]

@xtinagonzales On Taking Risk:

"Resourcefulness is important in journalism, always put your 150% If you can. You kinda have to put yourself on the line, cause that's what will get you into the next level in your career" #RJAATALKS
