Planning

Five Year Action Plan

My action plan beyond July 2021 turns into my five-year plan. In the next five years, I would like to graduate university with a first-class degree in journalism. The next step after university is naturally some form of employment hopefully in the media and journalism industry. This potentially could lead to me moving out of Norfolk to a bigger city. The dream and goal is London however somewhere closer like Norwich still can provide the facilities I need while being more affordable. Some sort of travelling will always be in my interests especially with what I'm studying this can be extremely useful as I can travel around and find contacts and connections in other countries and constantly learning.

10 Year Action plan

Starting a family and getting my own place. Being able to be in a comfortable job and earning a good income. Living in a house is key, not an apartment and having a big garden, I don't know why I just want a big garden. always been a dream of mine.

 Evaluation CV- When creating my CV I used a new website called Canva.Com.

The picture I am currently using is a selfie-and looks okay but would benefit from a professional look as it is a professional document.  When finishing University and this year at college I can add ...
