Last week we looked at our Career Advice Reports.

• Did you send some messages?
• Get any responses?
• What did you do well?
• What could you improve in your approach?
• What can you do more of, or better?

How can we look for work experience, internships, work, volunteer opportunities?

It’s that time in the semester to check in. What you’ve done well. What you’ve missed or left for another day. What still needs to be done by the end of your course.

REFLECT: Do you have all of the tools you need to apply for work?

• Samples of work (eg writing, radio demo etc)

What works well?

What can be improved?
