On Wednesday March 3, Martyn Lewis CBE, an ex-BBC broadcaster and the founder of YouthNet, the charity behind Lifetracks.com, shared his expertise with us as he spoke at the YouthNet Student Journalists Seminar.

The video, taken at the event, features Martyn talking about ‘reading up on what you want to do’.



In the video, Martyn talks about reading up on the job you’d like to do, making sure it’s the right one for you and then pursuing that goal.

He points out how many times he saw his own applications rejected before he got a “big break” into journalism.  His advice: never feel ashamed and never be put off by rejections. Keep going and you will get that break that will change your whole life and future.

Lifetracks.com can help you to find your career path. There are many routes to take including  apprenticeships, volunte ering placements or by applying directly for a job vacancy.

And for those of you who have your own tips to share, feel free to upload a video of yourself to YouTube giving your advice and tag it “yourlifeontrack” - it might be your video we highlight on the blog next!

All the best.
Jonathan and the Lifetracks.com team.
