    Check the moaners going on about pay for placements.
    Feck, especially in this climate you'd be lucky to be even offered a placement.

    My father was director of a graphic design company from the late 70s til a few years ago. His advice to me, and in general, when i'd graduated and was looking for work was to approach companies and offer your services for free for a month or two.
    yes, you'd have to have some pennies to see yourself through that time, but it increases your chances of getting a foot in the door even if the company are not looking for fulltime employees.
    If you work hard and impress then the chances of you being taken on at the end of your stint are very high or if they are looking for staff in the future then you will probably be the first person they call.
