On the Thursday just gone, the university arranged a trip for us to go visit one of the local creative agencies known as The Workshop.
It was a brilliant and insightful day speaking to 4 people who work within the agency telling us our individual stories. Some of the things I will take back to remember are;
- Placements are extremely important and useful regardless how short they are! It gives you an insight into a working company as well as picking up invaluable experience compared to someone who hasn’t gone on a placement.
- Continue to make a lot of connections as these essentially keeps doors open.
- Get involved on twitter! A lot of creative practices these days look on twitter accounts to get a snapshot of someones lifestyle.
- Do your homework when it comes to the company you’re interested in working for. Getting information wrong about them could be the fundamental point you do not succeed.
- If you do not succeed the first time. Keep on trying. Don’t get put off by failure!
