NOT AS
EASY AS YOU THINK..... Is what comes straight to my mind when I think of applying
for internships, which is the exact reason for writing this blog post. To have
a little rant about how stressful it actually is.
In my third year of university I have to
complete 20 working days of placement to go towards my credit for my degree, if
I do not complete 20 working days then I fail. Which is never ever a brilliant option.
I know it is only February at the moment and I can complete it within a years
time, but seriously, its not that easy to find one.
I have contacted; in my mind every place
possible and have not had any luck.
Studying media and journalism means my work placement can entail
anything within them two options, which is very large. But I have no experience expect from my work I
have done at university. I know it’s a positive and a big advantage but I choose
last minute to study media and journalism.
I have recently become Secretary of the
fashion society at my university and involved within the PR part of the society
too, but overall the experience I have is very little, which is probably a main
reason as to why I am not getting anywhere.
The lecturers I have, make you believe it is
as easy as pie to get a placement, IT IS NOT. DEFINITELY NOT. Including the
failure of finding a placement at the moment, I also have assignments to be
doing, so I have to spread my time between looking for a placement and
assignment work. Sttrrreeeessssssfulllll.
Another thing, which is annoying, is that usually
companies want you for a year and the problem with my course is it is only for
20 working days. I mean, only to make it even harder!
So to all fellow students/future students
look EARLY and hopefully you’ll have more look than I am having right now. Good luck.
Just needed a little moan about being so
unsuccessful with finding a placement. OOPSSSY.

I've always wanted an internship. Currently in Canada there's this huge debate about whether or not they should be paid. I guess because of the economy and competition among us students its harder to find a placement, especially when it comes to freelancing and journalism. Best of luck finding a placement :) Andrea | http://nomoneywilltravel.com
