How to make the most of your time at Colosoul

We have a high turn over volunteers at Colosoul, due to the nature of our organization. We have a high number of volunteers that come to us to do their uni prac or uni internship.

This post is directed to those who really want to make a career in the media industry. Here are some pointers to get the most out of your work experience. ·      Take the time to get to know your team leader, team members, managing director...

Fashion, Food & Marie Antoinette

When it comes to organising a photo shoot, a lot of things come to play. Venue, models, apparel, shoes, hair and makeup are just a few things that as editor,  I  have to coordinate the organisation of. Yesterday we had the opportunity as apart of Vashti Magazine to be in the heart of the CBD in Perth for a special 'Alannah Hill' photo shoot. The photo shoot was Marie Antoinette inspired, with exquisite food, an amazing team and a terrific...

Reviving Teensoul

When I started at Colosoul nine months ago I was nervous to say the least. I had already been given the Teensoul magazine to re-launch after some time of inactivity and with so much creative freedom I had no idea where to start. I was fortunate enough to have a strong team of three from the start and from there we expanded to over twenty writers, photographers and editors combined. I’m not saying this path has been an easy one, but from early days we’ve gone from Teensoul being a pamphlet, to something with a bit more weight. We’ve been fortunate...

Life at Colosoul so far...

They say every career starts off somewhere, and I’m so glad I’ve chosen Colosoul Magazine to begin mine. Launching a career in the media industry is a tumultuous task – it really is “who you know, not what you know” – and I believe it takes a fair amount of bravery and persistence to go down the journalism route in today’s society. After what seemed like a thousand phone calls, emails, even personal meet and greets with local newspapers and magazines in search of a job, I was beginning to give up on the idea I could pursue a career in journalism...

Around the clock

Tricia and I are sitting in Cheeky Monkey a cafe in Melbourne catching up on working between meetings.  As I'm scrolling through my emails this picture comes up on PR Daily, needless to say when I showed Tricia we both had a good laugh at how perfectly this describes our life. ...

Even your car fits your office

Tricia and I were trying to find a cafe at 9:30pm to work in after our group meeting. We couldn't go into Fremantle because everything was closed, so we stopped at a Chinese restaurant because they're normally open late. We went in and sat down, then the lady came over and told us they were closing and only doing take-away. Then we tried to go to the kebab shop down the road and they were closed too. We are now sitting in the car working at 11pm...

The things we do

It's funny what you will do to win people when they're not seeing eye to eye with you. Using chocolate is one of my personal favourites....you can't really say no to chocolate ;) Plus chocolate gives you endorphins so you can't possibly be negative while eating chocolate! - The Colosoul Cr...
