Re: Work Placement
Thats pretty much what I am doing. Its not an essential part of my course, but it would be highly beneficial to obtain a placement.

Re: Work Placement
Highly beneficial is an understatement. Remember it is not a placement, it is a year long job interview. That was one of the best pieces of advice I've ever been given...

Re: Work Placement
I agree, at one interview was told that they hire 60% of their placement employees after they graduate.
But the trouble atm is actually getting the placement.

Re: Work Placement
