Tip or trick by Jamie - 30 May 2008

Placement Year

Sorted Crew

If you get a chance to do a placement year, take it by the horns!! You will gain so much experience and also respect from future employers!!

Also you'll find your last year a lot easier with all the commercial experience!

I completely agree, with Jamie, if you do get the opportunity to do a placement, do it, never say no, it was the best year I had, it shows you what is out in the real world, A test run before you step out there for good.

people should do the same with the ERASMUS scheme too. My bands singer went to Japan for a semester and had the best time of her life. I was slightly too late to apply for it though.....gutted!

Totally recommend getting a few students in. When making paper aeoroplanes starts getting boring, you can poke the student and try to guess what noise they'll make. Good value I think. All companies should have one.
