Name
Kerryn Marlow (not telling you my middle name 'cos it's naff!)
Age
35 yrs
Job Title
Editor of BodytalkMagazine.com
Job Description
My job involves making sure each fortnightly edition gets online, as well as researching and writing articles, news, interviews and eating as much chocolate as I can stomach!!
Hours (per week)
I work lots of hours!
What was your first job?
I worked as a checkout chick at Nancarrows supermarket. It's a Safeway supermarket now.
What inspired you to choose this particular career?
As a checkout chick? I wanted to move myself, my teddy bear, beanbag and single bed out of home, plus I wanted to get into the 'real world'!
What qualifications are needed to work in this field?
You need to be fast on the till...sorry...to be an editor you mean? Well this requires that you be a very nosey person, pay attention to detail to the point of annoying people (see: anal retentive and my name will be there somewhere!). No qualifications really.
What are the best aspects about your job?
That it is mine!! ALL OF IT!
What are the worst aspects?
There are none that I can think of.
How many years' experience do you have in this field?
I've spent the last 12 years as a radio announcer and producer, so the journalism side has helped me in my current position big time!
Are there many employment opportunities?
There will be!
