I currently study Creative Writing at Winchester University just up the road and took a module wherein a complete some work experience. It's pretty important to get some experience of the actual industry under your belt because most people's response to my degree is, 'oh. What do you want to do with that then?' To tell you the truth, I picked Creative Writing as a degree because I've always just enjoyed writing and didn't want the focus to be redirected into various media industries which usually comes with journalism degrees.The good thing is that writing can be attributed to any industry nowadays, I've even done some experience in a pharmaceutical company before. I had to put together a presentation trying to market a new cancer drug (that was a different and very sciencey job).
I want to try and experience as many types of business connected with writing as possible before I enter the big bad world of adulthood and getting a real job (gasp). So when I saw Remarkable PR, I was keen to go there. I'd heard a lot of good things about PR but there's also a lot of assumptions you make, like isn't it all just schmoozing and brown-nosing? I wanted to see everything that they do in PR as its often the behind the scenes team that make big businesses look good.
