Above is a summary of a job position advertised with FOXTEL. FOXTEL is “Australia’s leading subscription television provider and is connected to almost 1.6 million homes on cable and satellite through retail and wholesale distribution” (FOXTEL, 2009). The positions would be great for Bachelor of Communications and Media Studies (BCMS) students like me who are majoring in both Digital Communication and Advertising & Marketing. The job position combines skills learnt from both specialisations into a single position.
While I was searching through the careers section of the FOXTEL website there were number of positions advertised across both of FOXTEL’s locations – the Sydney head office, and the Melbourne customer sales and service centre. The types of positions with FOXTEL varied business roles in management and marketing, to technical and engineering roles. There were also a number of positions advertised as full-time contract and full-time temporary, reflecting on the trends we discussed in class, as well as full-time permanent positions. There were very few part-time positions and no internships advertised.
