Not all companies are looking for experience. The more far-sighted ones (I exclude the one I w**k for in this description) will actually recruit graduates straight from university and train them up. The ungrateful sods usually work for the company for about 2 years, then get a much better-paid job with a company looking for someone with "experience".

you don't happen to know the names of any of these companies RF?

Did they not do a "milk round" when you were at uni? they usually do it to try to attract the final-year students and bag them before they get snapped up by other companies. The ones I know are in financial services, because that's the area I'm in, but I'm sure media companies must operate similarly?

Hmm yes the exhibition
