One month of the second year has passed already, studies are going so fast! So it’s time to start thinking about an internship or a placement. These are very beneficial for students to gain some knowledge, get and extend the experience, explore, develop skills, and even come up with ideas for a final year project or dissertation.

At this moment my idea is to find a short-term internship for about 4-5 months related to the advertising industry. Why? First of all, I’m still unsure if I want to link my career with advertising, but at the same time, I feel so excited to actually try to work in this industry. Secondly, this idea is relevant to my personal situation living and studying in the United Kingdom.

I’ve started looking for internships on the Talent Team site, which has so many various options! Now I have to find a few that appeal to me the most and I have met the requirements. To be honest, the idea of working in a professional field makes me anxious and frightened. So I know that I have to work on gaining knowledge through the year for a purpose to feel ready and confident!

I strongly suggest watching videos about Internships and Placements on the 201MAPA journey.
