Job Roundup - May 18

On Guardian Unlimited Jobs, Folio Recruitment (who I'll add to the recruiters list) has a very cool sounding posting for anyone interested in food and beauty -- sounds like an interesting publication, that one. The magazine(s) are looking for a sub/writer with a year's experience.

Also on GUJ, TMN recruiters has a posting -- and a well-paid one at that -- for a North American subeditor. I'm not sure they realize that North American's do indeed speak English, but if they test you, all you gotta do is drop the "u" and change your "s" to a "z". They also want a year's experience.

MediaUK has a post for sports journalists for some website. Must, um, like sports.

Also on MediaUK, a magazine about cranes -- probably not the birds -- is looking for an assistant editor with subbing, writing experience, as well as some usefulness on the interweb. Requires some international travel...

On Journalism.co.uk, Dow Jones is looking for a reporter with some knowledge of equity markets. So go buy the FT before applying.

Still with Emap, Construction News is looking for a features writer with two year's experience and journalism qualifications. And the deadline for the H&V news reporter job is tomorrow...

And lastly for today, IPC has a staff writer's position for their TV magazine.

And on Gumtree, the Sherlock Holmes museum has reposted their ad for someone to "help reproduce various books and articles from the Victorian era for publication." They do want your photo with your CV, so if you've applied already and not heard back, they may think you're ugly...

People Profiler

Guardian Jobs has a silly online quiz about work personality called People Profiler. Do a five-minute quiz and find out what your work type is, and what sector you (apparently) best fit.

I came out as a Stressful Mercenary Mr. Big type (see left), which is most prevelant in the Sales sector. Given I'm horrid -- really, really horrid -- at sales, I doubt the accuracy of this.

According to PP, Media folk tend to have a low "focus of interest" and "high outgoingness".

And, Media people have the fourth highest job satisfaction (at a rather lowly 9%), but a similar level of anxiety (fourth in line, at 8%).
