MetzRed Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 There are definitely people on here who think they could do a better job than the current lot. Your opportunity to put all your hard hitting questions directly to LJ: Is Flint going anywhere? Can he handle a maverick? Is the fact he's built one of the tallest squads I can remember a result of his short man syndrome? Which species of Triassic bantersaurus is he descended from again? What does he think of Spanish claims on Gibraltar?
RedM Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Yeovil have a good media team, mentioned on the local news today. Apparently they are causing big interest in how they are announcing their new signings, countdown, football manager style and by using a drone. They were praised for their fresh new ideas. Maybe we should headhunt one of their team to shake us up a bit?
BobBobSuperBob Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Hardly overpaid is it A lot of work and hours for that money I'll give,it a miss

pride of the west Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 I've noticed in their recent job advertisements that they dont pay a lot do they. This job must be 50 hours plus a week.
nebristolred Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Yeah Bristol City really do pay crap money compared to other jobs in the industry. I'd be really tempted by this myself if it wasn't so low (relatively speaking of course).

Admin Maesknoll Posted July 31, 2017 Admin Posted July 31, 2017 It doesn't seem like a lot of money, given the amount of unsocial hours involved. No idea what the going rates are for a job of that type, but would that attract quality applicants?

If you're on more than £20k in most media jobs you're on decent money, especially outside of London.
Davefevs Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 There are a lot of jobs that pay this sort of salary. If you're a younger person, the salary isn't too bad, and I imagine it's quite cool. Better than Banking, which is what I'm in! More to a job than money. Learn useful skills than could enable you to freelance on the side etc.
WhistleHappy Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Media Officer ? .... I guess that's similar to director of communications ? Theres one chap I know of that we could go for, an American currently unemployed... Scaramucci, Scaramucci can ya do the fandango ? just been fired by Trump after TEN DAYS in the job! ffs, what's going on in the US? Anthony Scaramucci forget the US ... come to US .

petehinton Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 The caveat at the bottom of this ad should be "you'll be sacked by someone at Bristol sport for no reason after a year or so"

EnderMB Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 You say it's not a lot of money (and it's not), but there are plenty of people working in similar jobs that are getting paid less than that. A lot of call centres also handle social media complaints for large accounts, and many of those guys are lucky to be pushing £18k. The big problem they'll face is getting someone that "knows" football, and has enough experience and rope to be able to do a good job of it.

Put a bit of personality into our social media dealings! Troll the fans a bit, throw our hat in the ring for Neymar, take the piss out of LJ a bit, engage in a bit of banter with the players, and we'll be on to a winner.
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 A useful job for experience, next stage,. intermediate IMO- yes a lot of work for perhaps not the best wage, but skills and knowledge and contacts to be gained could be invaluable. £21-25k could well be bonus related, the extra £4k dependent on output, performance, etc.

They missed out the most important part: "We are looking for someone who is mates with Steve Lansdown or someone who already works at Ashton Gate"

Bristol Rob Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Probably a good opportunity for someone trying to have a multimedia career, but with the cash on offer I would be surprised if it appealed to anyone other than a graduate.

WessexPest Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Getting paid to watch City though and have a bit of a free hand to come up with some new ideas to drive content - 20 years ago I'd've given my right arm to do that job at that pay grade. A lot of social and programme content is so banal it wouldn't take much to shake it up. For someone in their 20s that's not a bad wage. Hopefully a City supporter gets it, people who are excited about what they do generally tend to do a better job.

I'm sorry, and I really don't mean to sound arrogant here or offend anyone by complaining about the salary, but there is a world of difference between a call centre job and this role. Yes, call centre jobs do have to handle social media complaints as you say. But this seems more like running the entire social media channel, it mentions interviewing players and working on the entire digital side (website, etc). Not to mention the fact that the hours are probably long and there is a ****load of travel involved. On the flip side, it's a cool as heck job. But doing something like that in the finance industry for example that could be doubled, and the rest.

Sure you could get a graduate or somebody else to do it who's under-qualified, but to do this job well they will need at least 3/4 years under their belt across various digital/PR disciplines. To put it into context I've just hired a 'social & content manager' for one of my teams (I have a 17yr long career in digital and digital marketing), the individual has 3.5yrs experience under their belt, their starting salary is £50k, and I wouldn't expect them to do half the stuff on this JD! Sure £50k is London weighting, but even without London weighting I'd probably pay circa £43k. For the skills/experience required the role should be £45-50k at an absolute bare minimum. £21k is a total piss-take.

They're not going to employ someone fresh out of Uni for this role - they'll need to have worked in sports journalism for a few years on a local paper, radio or the like.As I said, good opportunity for someone looking to leave the local bugle in their mid to late 20s but if they're looking to recruit someone who will hit the ground running in this job straight away then they're likely to be disappointed given the remuneration on offer. For nine months of the year this person will be on the road pretty much, bye bye Christmas for starters. Does the salary reflect that? I'm really not sure it does. Of course they will be inundated with CVs from sports fans who aren't qualified for the job, but those will be binned without a second glance.
RedM Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I guess this job would mean covering first team matches home and away and also the u21's or u23's whatever the age banding is now too. Lots of travel, long hours. For that money and hours I think it would suit a young person without commitment to family ( you don't see them) or mortgage ( can't pay it on that salary).

The only snag is they want that kind of person but who also has a great track record in sports journalism. It's the old problem that they want someone who has the carefree lifestyle and low earning expectations of a young person but with the experience of a 40 year old. Can't have it both ways.
