Work experience

Hello!
I normally keep blogs about make-up products I have found, make up courses etc.
However, I recently re-discovered through blogging, my love of writing.
I looked into it a lot after originally leaving university at the end of 2012 and finally realised I wanted to do something related. So I decided to look into journalism. I figured that Journalism included website work, blogging, reporting as well as writing for TV , Radio and in print.
I spontaneously went to the University of the Arts in London and ended up falling in love totally and was offered a place on their BA honours program.
In order to prepare myself for the degree and to make sure I didn't end up repeating last years mistakes I arranged a week of work experience.

My Dads friend amazingly offered me a full Monday - Friday of work in his newsroom at the paper he works for.
I drove 2.5 hours away from my home and stayed the week with my family nearby.
I absolutely loved my week there and it confirmed that I would like to pursue a career in journalism.
I interviewed people, wrote two of my own stories which were published in the Friday edition of the paper and was able to go out with the other journalists to shadow them.


I just wrote this blog in order to keep people updated but also to help others who may feel lost with what to do after school and if they are struggling , to show that there are so many options and everything will work out if you're willing to work hard. I don't know if anyone is interested in this but it's a good way of me to store my experiences if I ever want to look back :)

Enjoy,
Emma xxx
