Exemplar job role: Blogger/Vlogger (source: http://creativeskillset.org/job_roles/4244_bloggervlogger)
Personally, this is a job role in creative media that I find endearing. With an A* in English Lit. and a B in Lang., I feel as if I can already use my GCSE credentials to apply charisma in my writing. As for the type of target audience I would attract, that would depend on what I would be writing about. In my blog, I would mostly focus on political, social and economical commentaries. Discussing the current affairs of the world is not only a passion but a hobby of mine, one that I can easily implement into my writings. Furthermore, my career goal is to become a writer/author of books and novels, and perhaps conduct journalism.
Using this current blogger site, I can apply my previous year's work from AS Media studies to the course, as well as my own career path. Utilizing this creative platform would also prove useful as I already have prior experience to working and maintaining a blog. In addition, my C grade in GCSE Media, as well as a C in my Computer Science, prove beneficial for the role. Similarly my further education into BTEC Media will also improve my progress in the field. Other potential career paths could also open up from this course, should I decide to not follow my current ambition. Creative media provide a large quantities of roles, with many skills crossing over into more than one job.
