Oh dear... I seem to have been in some kind of online hibernation. I’m sure this happens to the best of bloggers right?

In my defence, unfortunately 2009 hasn’t dealt me the best of cards so far and my brain is taking a while to readjust. But, on the plus side, a big life changing slap in the face can be just what you need to focus all your energies onto bigger and better things. And let me say, on the career front there have been a number of new developments.

I have now left you hanging for a good few weeks about how the interview in London went, and you may now breathe a sigh of relief as it went very well. I have bagged myself a 3 week PR placement in the Easter hols, vv exciting. Although I am a tad concerned about becoming one of the rush-hour underground sardines. Eek.

Also, thanks to all the publicity about the lack of graduate jobs (and my general keenness) I have also secured myself two further PR placements which will bulk out the old CV even more.

Work experience can be a fantastic pathway to becoming a fully fledged paid member of the team. It gives the employer a sort of “free trail” of how you contribute to their company. So treat every day as an extended job interview, and don’t give them a reason to let you go!

Note to self: Don’t eat a big bag of minstrels in one sitting.
