My First Year as a Journalist: Real Chronicle from the Future Pulitzer Prize-winning Russia’s Journalist (part 2)

Well, there is 18 September... 

I sold thousands of my CV and I`m feeling myself ready for anything - 

Разослала кучу резюме и откликов на hh.ру. Я уже готова на все - the columnist of the "garden life" rubric, the main descriptor of the joys of motherhood (alas, I do not know yet). I already have paranoia - I don`t even care WHAT to write - the main thing is to find at least some WORK! 

Mom in this regard is more philosophical - she somewhere subtracted statistics that foreign graduates of prestigious universities find work within a year and a half, and in my case was only a couple of months. 

 I also want to believe that everything will be for the better, but while the facts are against me - for good jobs you need experience (from 2 years), and all other vacancies need a desire to become a copywriter. And I have a feeling that soon it will appear. The only question is - if you become a copywriter, is there any chance then to switch to news journalism or have to remain a media writer?!???!

My First Year as a Journalist: Real Chronicle from the Future Pulitzer Prize-winning Russia's Journalist :)

So, here it happened. I`ve got my diploma (with honors!). My first year as a graduate journalist is beginning. Just say that at least I'm happy is too easy. Feelings a lot. Of course, I'm happy, but .... When I was not yet a certified journalist, everything seemed easier. And now it immediately becomes clear how difficult it is to find a suitable place. Although there are many places. Alas, but today employers are looking for three types of journalists - economical (business), secular chronicles of reporters and what can be conditionally called a "corporate journalist" (this is when de jure you are a journalist, but in fact you are a hybrid of copywriter with a PR).

Most of my friends just went to a clear PR, the second part sit down on the media monitoring, the third went to a PhD. And just 1% of graduates are trying all the same to get a job as a reporter (0.5% of the lucky ones found their place and cause my envy in half with sincere joy for them) .So, together with this 1% I also trying to become someone who is looking for stories, writing articles, taking interviews and goes for a report in some boonies. And this is my first year.

`Writing mania` or Why Y-gen is addicted to writing?

Soon it is becoming more advice for beginners writers than funny cats in the Internet.

I`m not kidding!

Advises, inspirations pics, youtube`s lectures, special sites for future writers, tons posts in blog and milliards "how to become a writer" or "how to write a book" in Google. 

All my friends create blogs to post their own life stories. Some of my friends believe that the journalism is more creative than editor want and their own thoughts more important than facts. … Well, they prefer to leave an journalistic.

So, why we are fascinated by writing and publish our life in the Inet? Why we such addict?

I have no idea. I`m from their camp :) But I can suppose that we are dreamed about the fame.

Yes, it is easy. No loneliness, no lack of attention in childhood. The psychologists suck.

We just want to be like MTV superstars – Selena Gomez, Justin Biber, you know.

Of course if you asked any Y, he said that I`m mad. But I`m not, I`m Millennial too. I know why we are obsessed with social media and writing – we want to be hearing, we want to be famous and we want to have an our own voice (that`s mean that we need an army of fans!).

Yes, on the one hand we are lonely in empty Internet space and we try to be a personality. But on the other, we see how to be cool MTV star. Thanks to pop slogan `You`re special` now we want to be special in the Internet. The Net creates an illusion of equality of opportunity for everyone. But this is fake.

Howbeit, this is the only place where we can be …. . Can be popular. `Likes`, `shares`, followers – all of this (even if our followers strange persons and online shops) our own fame. Our personal MTV.

We believe that our life is unique, our thoughts are interesting and our stories is evaluate to be writing. Of course, why not? 

Why we are worse than Selena Gomez?!? 

NO! 

We just a guys who watch TV and try to imitate their lives. Despite to the life in reality.

No way.

But it is difficult to accept.
