Jobs, BBC North

[beeswax]

With the impending move of parts of the BBC to Salford Quays (nr. Manchester), there are a lot of technical vacancies being advertised. You can get a look at them here - BBC - Jobs North - Home. Should be exciting.

There are at least 2 jobs there that mrwITch could do - shame it is not local

You not fancy relocating to the lovely North Witch? You could be much handier for the Conferences and events then

I applied last year. They accepted my CV, but I failed to pass the gruelling online assessment. Long process, and potentially worth the shot though.

 

Their advice:

 

Consider how you can demonstrate the BBC North values and reflect these within your answers: original thinking, connecting with audiences and communities, being open to ideas and partnerships, taking responsibility, and having a can-do attitude. We’re seeking all these qualities among our future employees.

 

A friend who has a history with the BBC did say, however, that a lot of their friends are 'jumping ship' now. I think there are maybe sweeping changes internally across all departments, and with this move in particular, could be upsetting to many loyal employees.

Translation: You must be willing to promote our left-wing agenda at the expense of the unfair TV tax.

 

(Oh, and put up with Christa Ackroyd)

That's a disappointing reply. Michael Gove was once a BBC employee.

Are you suggesting the BBC does not have a left-wing bias these days? (Not suggesting it has always been this way)

[beeswax]

I should have suggested that as this is the jobs forum, then this argument should be held elsewhere.

[Gibbo]

I've applied for this job, seeing as how it will be available.

You're right. I Apologise.

 

It's hard not to have a dig at Yorkshire's 1st lady Christa, that's all.

I've never heard of her.

Lucky you, try and keep it that way!
