get work experience

Done a lot of preperation for this, even squeezed in two interviews this week alone. With “Feel” in Camden Town and Cunning in Farrindon. With the former, it all went really well, I even liked the company filled with nice people and a double person interview, up until they asked me my two favourite adverts and I faltered, in hindsight I even struggled with my favourite book and uttered a play, and annoyed with my response about music. I mean how could I answer the finally two questions without a difficulty. Oh well. They said they would get back to me by the end of the week, by my calculations thats tonight. But my inbox isn’t exactly ringing. With the other one Cunning, the interviewed went really well, only for the guy Olly to reveal that he was in an awkward situation because they were about to enter into a big deal and he didnt see any point in having me there. He did, however, promise to speak to a few friends to help me out. So I give Feel till next Tuesday to hear something and I guess the same with Cunning. Things are improving with actually getting interviews but it appears to be a bad time. Contacted Peter PJ and also resent out emails directly to a lot of companies.

Vice was now three years ago and it cemented my career ambitions. Now I need to get in with different companies. Let’s start with Hydrogen, BBH, Accenture and television channels. Do more and more research. Also contacted lots of UCL mentors for advise in the morning, now waiting the wait to see who will respond.

For the time being, I have got all the work experience I want, and have managed to decide on studying music at uni. In the future I will probably get more work experience to decide which specific career i want to follow, but for the moment this is done!

I’ve (Among with the other playscheme staff) been offered supply work to fill in for the new special needs auxileries that are needed for the anderson next term. I’m keen on doing it because its mostly the same children as have been at the playscheme, plus it means I get to experience both the summer activities and normal school work with them.

I need to get some more work experience in various jobs so I can decide what I do at uni. I have done work experience in a music classroom as I have always wanted to do music. But I also have the urge to do something that really helps people, so currently I am working with special needs children. I also want to do some work experience in social work, and with old people, and more music experience before I apply for uni. Some of the courses I have looked at want at least 6 months relevant experience in the community. So I’ve made a start!
