We are just about to hit Christmas and of course the summer holiday season! This only means that we have more time on our hands to chill out and also put our passions to good use. I've just finished my Journalism degree and throughout my studies I undertook a number of work experience opportunities to expand my skill set. I was recently asked to give other university students advice on where to look for a proper internship experience. So I, alongside another Journalism graduate, Brendan Lucas decided to uncover the do's and don'ts for when applying for work experience opportunities. In the end, we interviewed an array of experts and students to gain their insight and opinion.
