On Friday evening I got some really good news. All my marks from my final university modules have been released and I believe I am going to be graduating from the UCA in Farnham with a 2:1 in BA Honours Journalism. I’ve kind of scrapped it with an average mark of 60/100 but it doesn’t matter. I reached the goal I set myself at the beginning of the year and that delights me more than anything. There have been so many obstacles, mostly unnecessary, to overcome and I’m relieved I have a mark which I believe fairly represents my time at university.
However, the real work starts now. I’m aware that, at this present moment in time, hunting for jobs is incredibly difficult. However, I’ve tried to prepare myself as much as I can. I’ve been monitoring the jobs market for months on end, seeing what the trends are and what possible routes to go down. I’ve done two work experience placements – one at a national music magazine and one at a record label (which I’m actually still doing for another month yet). I’ve been doing my own music blog and some voluntary reviewing. I’m at the point where I feel like I am very employable – providing that a company would be willing to take me on.
So, let’s see what happens. Wish me all the luck in the world.
