Lecture on Work Experience.

As the Easter Holidays ar approching us so quickly, we were given a lecture on finding ourself some work in the Media ield to get us some experience under our belts.

Here is a quick over view of the requirements that employ's are lookign for in a potential graduate employee.

• Strong communication skills
• Ability to think creatively (problem solver)
• Ability to work well under pressure
• Someone that use's there own inicitive
• Someone with a strong understanding of the industry
• Someone who has good people skills
• Good IT skills
• Good ustomer service skills
• Good business skills

We was advised int he lecture that havign these skills above or havign the knowledge would help us to find the right job straight away after graduation, as finding a job in the multimedia industry as a graduate with no experience is very hard.
