Initial Thoughts on Second Year and the Prof Practice Module

After completing the first year of study I was aware of some of the things that students would need to do for the second year in the Professional Practice module such as work experience and to write blogs reflecting my views on career advice and the weekly discussions/activities about the industry practice. I will be reflecting the module on a weekly basis as time goes by to see if there are things that I do enjoy and find important, including other activities that I will be taking part as part of the module, which includes work experience and group activity.

I won’t be setting my expectations too high for the module as it might change over the course depending on how well I do, so at the moment things are steadily getting there, however it might change pace.

Within the module the discussions relating to work experience and career planning would be beneficial to help me out a lot in terms of finding work within the my field of practice (Illustration) and how to approach things in a more professional manner, as well as beginning to find contacts and networking groups of people, since, to be honest, I have not got any work experience at all (I will be discussing this further when it comes to career planning and work experience separately) and I need all the help I could get to make sure things are done right for it.

In the meantime of this module I will see what comes around. I’m ok with group activities, it’s just the work experience that I might find some trouble.
