Employability Meeting
Employability meeting with Sebastian.
Look at graduate schemes to do with Visual Merchandising and Interior Design. Getting some work experience first will be beneficial, help me decide what I am more interested in.
Creative skill set.org gives lots of definitions of job roles, can decide what sounds best for me.
Done some work experience regarding VM at Jarrolds and Selfridges so maybe try interior design next?
The Missing Kind - charity that may need a volunteer visual merchandiser - something to bear in mind.
I've been looking at short courses in interior design and VM, Sebastian thinks they won't be necessary (not 100% sure) so getting work experience or at least talking to people in the industrys first.

On Monday 21st November we received an email regarding a national commission competition. This is something I am very interested in taking part in, even just for the experience of professional practice.
