I’m literally obsessed with your hair this colour 😍😍😍

[@Claire_Fenby]

Ariel Bissett Me too! I think this is my favourite colour so far too 🖤

I loved this Claire as I am really interested in (changing my/) a career in(to) publishing and it is interesting to hear ho you did it! And to hear about your personal experience as well!

This video was soo helpful and insightful! I hope to get into publishing myself, and working in London sounds amazing! 💛

This was actually incredibly helpful and informative, thank you so much for sharing your journey! Also, every time I watch one of your videos I put it in the background as if it was a podcast episode because your voice relaxes me so much

Hi Claire! As someone who wants to work in publishing in the UK (I'm from Argentina) and looking to apply to an MA at York, your videos have been really helpful. I wrote to you on instagram but maybe the message didn't get through the inbox? Looking forward to your next videos :)

It's really encouraging to hear how many stages it took before you got your role, because I've had a lot of rejections in my career journey (not related to publishing). That being said, you're completely right that it's important to take steps to create a better future for yourself. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@Claire_Fenby]

Thank you! I definitely thought it was important to highlight the different stages as even though there was only 6 months since my MA and getting my internship in publishing a lot happened behind the scenes. I hope all goes well for you in your career journey 🖤

[@MercuryCalling]

@@Claire_Fenby Thank you!

[@thebookbelle]

Love your new hair Claire! And fab video, always love hearing about different people's journeys! x

So happy for you! I follow your channel since the first video. Lots of kisses from Amadora, Portugal. ❤📚

I've followed your channel for ages. Great to hear how you're getting on with publishing and how your KZbin experience helped you. I'm currently in the process of applying for jobs and never know if I should put KZbin on my CV or not... Like, it's taught me so much about filming, editing and interacting with the publishers who send review copies, but I never know if employers will like the sound of it or not, if that makes sense? I suppose it depends on the industry. For the more "creative" roles (social media/digital marketing work etc.) the response has generally been quite positive.

[@Claire_Fenby]

Tomes And Travel Definitely put it on! It’s the main thing employers found interesting about me ❤️

[@anasweety17]

Your hair is amazing!😍

[@samerzeidan6411]

I love your page really 😍😍

[@springonion8124]

oh god the application process sounds so intimidating! sooo many steps and interviews it’s insane. do you know if that’s just for the bigger publishing houses?

[@springonion8124]

also, if that offer for reading cover letters is still up in about a year and a half (when i’ll be close to graduating) i’ll definitely take that up lol ♥️

[@Claire_Fenby]

Most interviews for a roles have two stages but it depends on the role and company. They are okay though - I promise ❤️

What colour/s did you use on your hair? I think this would suit me, as my hair is the same natural colour as yours.
