• Permanent working - this means your job is alot safer and there is usually more perks to the job
• Temporary - this means you're contract can be terminated at any time so you're job is not safe until you are giving a permanent contract
• On completion - this type of work means you will be giving a task and once that task is completed you will be paid. This can be bad as it means if you miss deadlines you may not be paid aswell as you would like for the job
• Part time - This means you will only be working roughly 10 hours a week, this means not as much money but more free time which is ideal if you are currently studying or have other things going on

Progression

With just about any job there is a hierarchy, especially in Media. Just about anyone will start from the bottom and it is up to yourself to work your way up. Depending on your line of work, most people within the Media industry set out as a runner and if they show promrise they may be given more responsibility. However in some companys they may believe you have the skills to do a certain job role but not the qualifications, this can result in you not advancing further or having to complete further education before advancing through the hierachy.
