How to Stand Out and Get Hired - Make It In Media EP 3 - S1

Описание: Landing your first job or internship in media can feel like a full-time job on its own. Endless applications, “entry-level” roles asking for years of experience, and the pressure to have a perfect résumé can make the process exhausting. In Episode 3 of Make it in Media, host Camila Brango, Director of Community at the Center for Communication, breaks down what actually works when it comes to getting hired.

This episode is your complete guide to navigating entry-level roles and internships with intention and confidence. You’ll hear directly from the people who review résumés, source candidates, and make hiring decisions at major media companies as they share practical strategies you can use right now. From building a smarter job search plan to applying faster (not perfect), shaping a résumé that tells a clear story, and using LinkedIn and networking to stand out, this episode demystifies the process step by step.

Featuring insights from Tiffany Bender, Jhanelle Dennis, Lori Waldon (President & General Manager, KOAT TV), Ramon Escobar, Nina Temple, Jackie Shaheed (Early Careers Manager, Warner Bros. Discovery), Noël Claro, Jim Rich, Amarachi Ugonabo (Creative Social Coordinator, Ralph Lauren), and Puja Vohra (EVP of Marketing, Showtime & Paramount+), this episode reminds you that your story, persistence, and relationships matter just as much as what’s on your résumé.

Whether you’re applying to internships, entry-level roles, or trying to figure out how to stand out in a crowded field, this episode will help you move from stuck to strategic—and one step closer to getting hired.
