It was, at the same time, an immensely satisfying place to work and exhausting!  It was the sort of job where you are never really "off duty".  
The environment was very informal and you were trusted just to get on with the job in hand. You ask for a typical day - well, there wasn't one.  Every day I had to find new people for programmes, do research on different topics, record interviews, edit interviews and keep the team happy!  Someone once described broadcasting as addictive - he wasn't far wrong.  Programme making is something that you can keep working at until broadcast time.  The people I worked with were, on the whole, fantastic.  Obviously, there are people, as in any workplace, who were difficult but I found the BBC a great place to work and a my job was never dull.
The hardest part of the job was navigating the management changes of policy and the most enjoyable part was listening to a programme which really worked and which you had a part in.  Also, my colleagues made my job so rewarding.

A typical day at work for me would start around 7:30 AM. Upon my arrival at the office I would check messages, see if there have been any meeting changes in my boss's schedules, and print out a copy of his daily calendar highlighting the days events. Next I would complete any on going projects, for example: Compile research materials, make small reel edits, complete script coverage for incoming and current projects, convert video from tape to digital, and make travel arrangements for different personnel in the office. While doing this I would also be running my boss's calendar making sure they were on time to meetings and phone calls. This would last until I left the office around 7:30 and 8PM. 

I learned how to be a creative problem solver, how to always be two steps ahead, and how to represent myself and my company in the most professional manner possible.

The hardest part of my job was knowing that I was hitting a dead end at the company and while I am plenty qualified, the job market was going to be a scary place.

The benefits are pretty good but there have been no raises in years and poor salaries to begin with (despite the fact that they send out tons of memos about how profitable the company has been). SO many good people have left in the past few years and yet nobody seems to care. There is little to no value placed on work/life balance and with the workload constantly increasing it doesn't look like that will get better. Job security is non-existent for most and the morale is very low. The new management is smart but mostly hire people they already have worked with rather than giving a chance to the people there who are working hard. In general there are some great people who work there, but I wouldn't recommend this company with all the other cable nets out there who pay more competitively and place a higher value on their hard-working employees.

Looking for new business opportunities and designing strategy to present our products (Channels) to new clients. 
Many travel required in order to present channels and programming to new and actual clients, and asisting to TV Trade Sows in the region as well.
Many changes in management, which is not a positive things because strategy changes all the time, and there is no certain guideline. The hardes part of the Job is to make people ( co-workers) understand about the business and the region, etc. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is to be part of a a very innovative company, leading the production of the best TV Content in the world, and working with people from many different backgrounds in the office, and also the clients. Always giving and learning a lot within the organization and with clients.


A typical day at work involved editing logs and managing metadata and closed captioning, tasks that taught me the importance of attention to detail and organizational skills. Despite the challenges of justifying headcounts in a constantly evolving industry, I thrived in the diverse and inclusive workplace culture. However, navigating mixed messages from management was often frustrating. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn and grow in my role, finding satisfaction in performing my job duties to the best of my abilities and continually improving my skills.

BBC's public service background pervades even the for-profit BBC Worldwide division. appears old school Britain pervades and People are often promoted based on popularity. You need to live in UK to get serious promotions, of course. There is a lack of hardcore focus on revenue and surpassing media competitiors.There are non sensical procedures, endless layers of bureaucracy, riduculous low per diems when traveling mean youre eating fastfood and losing money when traveling for work. Things like in order to expense mileage you must attach a certificate of car insurance that states your insurance covers you for business use. Very Poor on-boarding for new employees.

There were never 2 days the same, you could be doing routine maintenance on one of the expandable outside broadcast vehicles, repairing a television lens or working on an interesting project for television.
The management were very good and new you by name, and I was fortunate to work with a great team in a small workshop, each member were specialized in various areas, mine being lens ,maintenance fabrication and welding.
The hardest part was probably when a Broadcast vehicle would be damaged when closing the sides, and had to be repaired to a very tight deadline, but we always succeeded.
Most days were a joy to come in, as the work was so varied.

During working in the fields a typical day would be cutting off leaves from the branches and opening up the grapes so they could be cut easily and quickly. I learned how to be hardworking and how to properly cut grapes so they wouldn't be so bunched, or fall off the trees. The management was great! The manager was a very great, and helpful person. Coworkers were always relaxed, and helpful as well. They would help out if you were too slow and would always encourage you to keep going and working hard. The hardest part of the job had to be the heat. Enjoyable part of the job was how easy the work was once you got the hang of it and it would be fun listening to music and doing what you had to do.

Overall a really nice place to work, nice people, interesting projects.  Extremely busy, open office environment so no privacy whatsoever  - sometimes makes it very difficult to concentrate and get work done with so many people around all talking at once.

The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to meet and know outside talent and getting to be involved in the production of a project - seeing how it's all done from writing, selecting production crew and talent, see how the production works and finally, the finished product.
