Work Experience
We currently offer a limited number of work experience placements. We are keen to hear from graduates or students entering their final year at university who are considering starting a career in publishing.
Preference will be given to candidates wishing to undertake longer placements, although we offer positions for a minimum of two weeks full time.
The work experience we offer is suited to someone looking for a first job in publishing. The tasks we set are the kind of jobs an entry level candidate would be expected to do. We are able to offer placements in the editorial and production departments.
In the editorial department candidates will be given a range of duties including researching, sourcing and copying texts, checking pages, compiling and implementing editorial corrections and reading proofs.
In the production department candidates will scan and import texts for facsimile reproduction, prepare texts for publication and implement basic pre-production page layout style.
Candidates must have good spoken and written English.
The work is unpaid and we are not able to pay travel or living expenses.
If you are interested please email your CV with a covering letter, including an indication of how long you would like the placement to last, to Julie Wilson, Editorial Manager julie@pickeringchatto.co.uk
