    Internships in the Media/Entertainment Industry?

    It's great that you have so much enthusiasm and that you're already starting to think about work experience and internships! Just briefly, (and from what I know) * how long do they usually last Anywhere from one day to a whole year. I think the longest of I've heard of is one year. usually...

    BOS Showcase: 2007 Major Works

    AMEZ, I just read you you poetry mw and it's fantastic. :) well done! Holden4ever89, I liked Neutral, the images were really really effective and worked well with your poetry. I think this was purely coincidental but you both used the Cocktail Glass shaped concrete poetry. interesting!

    a competitive industry?

    I'm an short asian girl, and i managed to get a job in media and an internship in tv. don't concentrate on it, and keep thinking that it might possible work against you. I never really thought about it because thankfully i haven't ever encountererd racism directly. but be wise and be...

    Career in Media - Uni or TAFE?

    I agree with kami, and especially what he says about the importance of experience. If your focus is getting a job in the media industry, and you REALLY do want it, you should be looking for experience in the industry. I'm a first year journalism student and through hard work got a media job...

    07 poets! how do we present our MWs???

    wow, it's nearly the end, and you get to have one subject out of the way now. I can't believe time goes by so quickly. there should be guidelines given to you by your teacher, they should definitely know, otherwise from memory... font: arial or times new roman. (make sure it's double...

    The Official "I GOT THE JOB!!!:D:D" Thread

    usually most jobs in the media industry is all through connecitons, or so I'm told by people working in the media. but when you study media at uni you usually get to meet people who work in the industry and are on their way up by the time they graduate leaving an open position. so i was very...

    a question for all previous undertakers of EXT2...

    I did poetry for my mw and when i read over a couple of my poems now i want to change so many things. even if it's just an indentation or ONE SINGLE COMMA. it really bugged me for a sec that i couldn't change it, but anyway no point in complaining. once you hand it in, it's in. there's no...

    40mins is a joke

    It shouldn't be the amount that you're worrying about but rather the quality of what is being written. For me i wrote around 1600 words, i think? it's hard to remember lol, even though it was only last year. Ithink 1500 is a good amount and you should aim for around this in around 40 minutes...

    Recycled Water: Your Opinion

    Re: Recycled Water: Where the hell is it? Just a note on the taste: Debnam offered me to try 'his' recycled water when i was at one of his press conferences. surprisingly i thought it tasted the same, or even slightly 'purer' than normal drinking water. just an opinion.

    2007 poetry B.O.W titles!

    my title was just a line out of Plath's poetry. I thought it was the 'prettiest', lol. nah, it embodied all my concepts, so that's why i chose it. but when i didn't have a title, i was stressed about not having one.

    STuffed up my hsc

    It might not seem like it now, but there is lots of time later on. I remember to the months leading up to the hsc, that some subjects finished the course early, so around the month before the hsc was all about revision and catching up. however, by then you should have ageneral undersating...

    My first HSC total breakdown... eep. Help with appeal forms?

    and this is from someone doing med? lol. I heard that first semester has been blissful so far for med students. i think they are just trying to settle you guys down before it gets to the crunch time! But I'm finding my course a bit bludgy too. Jesykka, don't give up you WILL get through...

    I turn really red during exams.

    That reminds my of a GRey's anatomy ep. there's this girl and her cheek's flame up whenever mcdreamy walks into her room, its a medical condition and she had to have surgery to fix it. .. but yours doesn't sound that bad :) I heard that although you may feel really relaxed and calm...
