Being a keen second year student studying Marketing at Lancaster University, I decided to get some hands-on experience and after checking out websites and arranging meetings with the careers advisor (plus cashing in on all my personal contacts), I opted to try and get into Democracy PR for some work experience over the Easter break. One telephone interview, a personal recommendation and i got the nod a couple of months ago.

Today I woke up, excited, terrified and ready to get stuck in. After a read through the papers, I received the first challenge – have a go a blogging. First attempt coming up shortly . . .
