Arts, design, media and communications
UX researchers plan and run studies that tell a product team what people actually do and where they get stuck. Methods range from moderated interviews and usability tests to surveys and analysis of behavioural data, and the output is evidence a team can act on rather than opinion.
Arts, design, media and communications
Actors interpret written characters for stage, screen, radio, voice work, and commercials, under a director. Work is usually project-based and won through auditions, so preparation, self-tape technique, and persistence matter as much as the performance itself.
Arts, design, media and communications
Broadcast journalists research, write, and present news and current affairs for radio, television, and streaming outlets. The job runs to hard transmission times, so verifying a claim quickly and writing clearly for the ear are core skills.
Arts, design, media and communications
Journalists find, check, and write stories for newspapers, magazines, websites, and wire services. Much of the work is unglamorous: building contacts, reading documents, chasing responses, and making sure every claim can be stood up before publication.
Arts, design, media and communications
Copywriters write the words that sell, explain, or persuade: adverts, websites, emails, product pages, scripts, and campaign lines. Strong copy starts from a proposition and an audience rather than a blank page, so briefing and research take up much of the job.
Arts, design, media and communications
Technical writers turn complex products and procedures into documentation people can actually follow: user guides, API references, help centres, and standard operating procedures. The job depends on interviewing experts, testing the steps yourself, and structuring information so it can be found.
Arts, design, media and communications
Copy editors correct and improve written material before it is published: grammar, spelling, consistency, structure, and factual sense. They apply a house style, query anything that looks wrong, and protect the publication from avoidable errors.
Arts, design, media and communications
Communications officers produce and coordinate an organisation's own messages - newsletters, intranet posts, web copy, reports, and announcements - for staff and external audiences. In public bodies and charities the role usually also covers plain-language guidance, accessibility, and a record of what was said when.
Arts, design, media and communications
Translators convert written material from one language into another so that it reads naturally and means the same thing. Specialisms differ sharply: legal, medical, technical, marketing, and literary translation each carry their own terminology and their own risks.
Arts, design, media and communications
Interpreters convey spoken or signed communication between languages in real time, in courts, hospitals, conferences, and community settings. The work requires accuracy under pressure, strict impartiality, and confidentiality, often with no chance to look anything up.
Arts, design, media and communications
Curators research, develop, and interpret a museum or gallery collection, and shape what is acquired, displayed, and how it is explained. The role combines subject scholarship with cataloguing, care of objects, exhibition planning, and public engagement.
