So as I wrote earlier, very briefly, I have a new job for iSentia, a media monitoring company, as a Daily Briefings Editor. I saw it advertised on Trademe and I thought the title sounded interesting so I opened it and thought to myself 'I can get that job!' I had drunk most of a bottle of wine the night that I applied, and that obviously worked, because a few days later I had a phone interview, a few days after that an in-person interview and the next week I started. It is early morning - I start at 6.30am and work till 9.30am, after which I can head to uni for classes and just get on the with the day. It works out perfectly for next semester's classes because they start at 10 or 11. At the moment however, I am on uni holidays so I just get up and go to work for 3 hours and then have the rest of the day free. It's quite nice! The company monitors and tracks the media for its clients. So they have people and computer programmes that scour the internet, tv, radio and social media and 'tag' articles or mentions of clients and these are put into the mediaportal. When we get there in the morning we log check which clients we are working on that day and log into mediaportal where all the clips and articles mentioning that particular client has been stored. We go through all the clips selecting the relevant ones and then turn these into a report - the Daily Brief. We send these reports off to the client and as most of them are in Australia, they receive them before the beginning of their working day so that they are up to date with what is being said about them in the media. Cool!
A few weeks ago I went wedding dress shopping with my mum and three friends. it was so much fun! three shops, 18 dresses. I didn't find 'the one' but I have an idea. I think I will get one made customised because I really want one that is unique to me.
