Short Term Placement

I am again seeking a short term placement to extend my knowledge further. With opportunities limited due to the current financial climate, I am struggling to find anything that will help build my existing portfolio. The search will go on until 2009, and am hoping that I will get that chance to show my worth. However, again I am finding that companies are not very proactive in responding to my initial proactivity. I personally do not think it is too difficult to just say "no" or "not at the moment, but give us a ring in a few months". Manners cost nothing, and that is all I am wanting. Or am I expecting too much?

The Christmas Break

Usually Christmas is full of festive activity, however this one looks to be different. After just handing in a 2500 essay on the American election, deadlines and exams are mounting!

This last semester has been a challenging one. Gone is last year where you could panic work to get the 40% pass mark. With new modules and new information, it has been a real challenge to stay on top of work as well as maintaining motivation. However, after two positive presentation marks (68 and 72% respectively) it has given me that drive to push towards the summer and a good pass mark.

As well as the deadlines, I have been enthusiastically looking for a placement for 2009. After the disappointment of missing out on the VW scheme, I am hoping some sports related ones come up after Christmas. I know for sure that I want to be in a sports related environment, and hope opportunities will come my way to realise this ambition.

Right on with the PACE, PRPM and PPE work pending for the 9th January....better get motoring!
