Work experience

Wed Sep 9, 2009, 12:57 PM
If you have work experience linedup this is for you.

Work experience is a fantastic way to make it into the industry and looks brilliant on your CV. Once you have it the next step is to make a good impression when you get there.

Call in a day or two before tosee where you’re actually going to be and on the day show up early. This is allgoing to get your brownie points!

Dress to impress, find out what they wearso you don’t look like you’ve come back from a night out.

Take a pen with you and a note pad so thatyou can jot down items of interest and your not just going through the motions.
Anyonecan learn a computer program but not everyone can be fun to be around. The keyis to be excited and enthusiastic about what it is your doing but don’t be aknow it all at the same time.

Be good to work with, helpful, and handy.Be organized. The best way is to make a plan of what you want to achieve from your experience whether it be full time employment or just to see how the industry works. Setyourself a few goals if it helps.

Your employer isn’t going to have the timeto look after you he’s got his own work to do so use your initiative! If theirsa shelf that needs organizing or an untidy desk that needs some attention giveit some TLC, It’s the small thing’s that count.

If you feel like you’re been given thedonkey work persevere, they want to know if you’re more competent than the lastperson. Show your abilities at the lower level and you up your chances of beenrewarded with bigger tasks.

And finally call back once you’ve finishedyour experience. Send them a letter send them a tweet. DO SOMETHING!

This is a really good chance to find outhow well you got on and if there was anything you could improve on for futurereference. Keeping in contact with your employer ask for a referee or any otheropportunities. It’s all about networking and it will up your chances of gettinga job in the future.

deviantID

Staffordshire University (BA) Third year Graphic Designer. Passionate and Highly motivated! Loves a good bit of type and a nice cupper!

I love a good bit of type and the smell of a new magazine. You can usually find me in the library or in the local poring through books and magazines. A nice sausage roll wouldn't go a miss either.

I live in a small/tiny town called Northwich, you may have herd of it or even been though ? There's nothing much here, its like a scene out of a spaghetti western before they have a gun fight and a tumble weed roles past. Talking about westerns have you seen Clint Eastwoods new film ? He's a mean bastard that Clint!

Oh and before you go make us a brew!

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
