COMMENT: A student recalls her work experience with Cinemagic
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
How many of us who have chosen to venture down the road of an arts degree have had to face that unavoidable question of, “What are you going to do after…teaching I suppose?” As an English Literature student of Queen’s I can say I have had that question posed to me on many occasions .
My response was always a rather unconvincing, “No..I’m not really sure”.
However ladies and gentlemen, I had a break through this summer thanks to work experience. I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to work within a PR office for Cinemagic in Belfast. I really cannot emphasis the benefits of work experience, not only do you get a clear insight into a profession but you also learn a thing or two along the way.
