Post Graduate Journalism degree

by Elizabeth

Recent post-graduate Journalism student seeking a position that utilises both my creative skills and journalism knowledge combined with a Public Relations degree, in a communications role.

Response from Carl: Congrats on your recent graduation, Elizabeth.

Personally I always like to see when someone specifically mentions what degree they have. Some might disagree but I'd prefer to read (for example) something like "Recent Masters of Communications graduate..." or similar. It makes your degree specific and it stand out more to the reader. I know you probably mention elsewhere in your resume that you hold the degree but for someone who speed-reads a resume like many people do, it might help to catch their attention when they see your degree mentioned specifically. Same goes with your Public Relations degree.

Again, just my suggestion.
