no secret really, just like anything preperation is the key! its only my third interview aswell, althou th other two were for agencies, so its kinda my first interview!
just one person outta our flat of 6 left to get employed now, which must mean after these 4 years of uni not actually being that fun (althou sometimes...) and it being rather stressfull and putting in mental 9am-2am 7 day weeks its paid off!

You tend to get bitter at everyone doing "mickey mouse" degrees as they have SOO much free time in comparison, but you don't have a shortage of things to talk about in interviews. Also if you do a work placement its a whole lot better, cos there is nowt like real work experience! |

I've got a Bsc in Product Design. Well done in getting through it, it's a heavy amount of work to do compared to a lot of courses. Double well done in getting work too. Unfortunately the market was flat on its back when I graduated so I never got any proper work other than in Special Effects where the pay was crud. By then I'd been out of the industry too long and it's almost impossible to get back in. I ended up in IT  No worries though because I learned loads of practical skillzorx that I used every day on my motors ;D If you don't mind me asking what company? |
