There are a lot of benefits to work experience, especially in a time where a degree is no longer rare and doesn't put you at a higher standing. It definitely works to your advantage to cover your CV in work experience of various types to show that you're diverse and have also worked in a similar industry or just worked in general.
Work experience also helps you get an insight into your career, confirming or challenging any assumptions you had previously made. Coming to a PR company was me trying to get an insight into all the jobs in the writing industry, as i chose journalism as it seemed to be the natural career choice for a writer and you can't expect to be a successful novelist and live off that. If every PR company is like this one, it's definitely a branch that i would consider! (Although I'm pretty sure it's the people that really make Remarkable great).
Thank you for an amazing 8 days here, I've learnt a lot (hopefully - I have a 5000 word portfolio to write about it!) It's been great to meet the whole team, especially those upstairs folk! I hope to see you in the future.
