Advice for more thoughtful reporting and improving your resume

Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.

📄 “Want a new journalism job? ‘Crawl’ your resume first”: Samantha Ragland of Poynter wrote for The Cohort newsletter about what should and shouldn’t make it onto your resume.

“As women, and women of color especially, there’s this pull to share everything, to be better than the competition by making our work history a sort of buffet of skills,” Ragland wrote. “But we need to get comfortable deleting what’s not imperative to attaining our goal. This helps us and the hiring manager see the path more clearly.” 

📝 Advice for more thoughtful reporting: Nicole Santa Cruz, a reporter with ProPublica, requested some advice on Twitter before “talking to young journalists about interviewing with sensitivity… — what’s your best/most useful tip for talking to people who have just experienced one of the worst events of their lives?”

There were dozens of replies filled with thoughtful notes on everything from letting the source drive the conversation to remembering that they don't have to talk to you to expressing empathy.

👀 ‘How The 19th* learned from early mistakes and revised its growth plan’: Amanda Zamora, co-founder at The 19th*, shared what worked and what didn’t in the nonprofit news organization’s first year on LION Publishers News Guest podcast.

“We came up with a three-year plan and I think it was laughably simplistic,” she told Outlier Media Executive Director Candice Fortman on the podcast. “[I wish] we would have recognized how much the operational side of things needed some tending.”

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this week:

• 💻 Another great SRCCON: I really enjoyed the time I got to spend at SRCCON’s virtual conference this year. It’s one of the most inclusive and thoughtfully organized conferences I’ve been to, and I highly recommend keeping an eye out for future events.

• 🙌 A fun way to brainstorm with your team: If you’re working remotely, try Google’s Jamboard to get that creative energy going.

• 📧 Looking for a new OOO message? I like the personalized example that Dan Oshinsky, who runs Inbox Collective, shared on his blog.
