Ashley's tips for work experience:
Ashley's tips for work experience:
- Talk to everyone and listen to everyone. Everyone has a story and you never know when that information or insight will be useful.
- If you're doing work experience, show a real interest in the work that people are doing and offer to do research for them. Befriend the sub-editors (if there are any left) - they know everything about production and are usually the wittiest people around.
- Use social media to talk to people you admire in the field. A lot of them will engage in dialogue and you could end up with a useful contact.
