h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Entry: The world after university - A2862975
Author: Big Al - U222665

This is my first entry to the guide that i've written and put up for review. It's basis is simple and the informatin is, as far as I'm aware, useful and correct. I'm open to constructive criticism

Hi Big Al,

Welcome to h2g2! I am pleased you are interested in writing for the Edited Guide - the more the merrier

The EG has cetain guidelines that each entry must meet, you can find them at <./>writing-guidelines</.>. I noticed that you had a couple of first person references (me, I etc) in your entry which would need to be taken out.

I had a quick look and didn't see anything already in the EG on getting a job after being a student so it looks like there is a gap to fill.

If you are going to stick with the job theme, then you could mention places to look for jobs, ie newspapers, job centre, professional journals etc. I think for a guide entry then things like that would need to be included.

It will need some changes to fit in with the guidelines, or if you want to leave it as it is - a humerous view on life after uni - then it will be available to everyone via the <./>search</.> facility. Just not part of the official guide

Thanks for the feedback.I'll try to re-write some of it shortly. Unfortunately, haiving computer trouble but as soon as everything is tickety boo again, I'll try to make those changes.

Great, I look forward to reading it then

good article. i like it. true and too the point. light and comidic and made you think. just like the orginal guide would have been. i hope my artcicle compares to yours. i still at university and these fact have already been drilled by every lecturer. it should go in to the edit guide.
sincerly

Hmmmm.... Big Al doesn't appear to have been back since then. If you do come back and get a chance to work on this, Al, please stop by here and let us know!

Hmmm.... still AWOL. Should we move this thread to the Flea Market, or back to the entry?

There have been a number of collaborative efforts in the past that touch on this subject, and cover it much better than has been done here.

On that basis, back to entry with it.

added to email.

Whoever takes it over should think about changing the title to something more job-specific, I think. And obviously change it to fit the EG guidelines.

Sorry I've been away for so long folks. Life took an unexpected turn and sent me on a bit of a trip. Needless to say, I have returned. If this entry is still on the cards at all, I'm more than happy to edit it. However, I fully understand if it is now to be buried deep within the vaults and forever forgotten about. Let me know people!

Good to see you're back! As far as I know, you would be ok to continue yourself.
