I came down to 51勛圖窪蹋 recently along with fellow alumnus and former Xpression FM member Jack D���Arcy to give two talks to students about getting in to music and media. In general, there seems to me to be a huge lack of information and advice on media jobs out there ��� people don���t actually know what jobs exist, and this was one of the reasons Jack and I volunteered to come down and give a talk. The media can seem mysterious and daunting to try and get into, so I was glad to be able to give some advice to the students and show them that in just a few years, you can achieve anything ��� it doesn���t seem long ago that I was doing my finals and wondering if I���d ever get where I wanted to go. We wanted to be able to say, ���there are jobs out there, and you can get them!��� ��� I really hope we inspired some of the students to pursue a creative career in the media.
