We are approaching the time of year when many young people are looking ahead to the long summer break from university or collage. While many student’s minds will be focused on the traditional pursuits of festivals and travelling the more savvy have been polishing their CV and looking at the opportunities available for gaining valuable work experience that will help set them apart in a tough job market.

One way of getting this experience is through work placement. A work placement, usually undertaken between the second and final year of university, provides students with a valuable, real life insight into their career of choice as well as giving them experiences that can give them a real boost in the all important final year.

One of the most important aspects of a placement that is often over look by students eager to finish university is the ready made answer it provides to the trick job interview question of ‘what experience do you have?’. Graduates that have completed a placement have a big advantage in the job market once they finish their course as they already have a year of relevant experience.

Ben Hunt-Vincent, our out going placement student said ‘my placement has given my much more experience than I imagined when I started a year ago. I feel much more prepared for the job market having carried out this placement and I am much more confident about my final year at university too’.

So this summer, if you a looking for an experience more unique than sitting in a field with 100 000 other people at the latest Glastonbury Festival head over to the Green Media vacancies page and check out our placement positions for the coming year.
