My teachers send offers to all the Master students but they're mainly (should I say only) based in France. If we decide to search abroad, that's our problem...
I really don't bother anymore, my teachers are assh*les. Seriously. One of them told me she would call me to talk about it, it was two months ago, and I've never heard of her after that. Last year, the one who was in charge of me during my internship gave me news once, while I didn't stop calling and emailing her to tell her my internship wasn't going well. Then she blamed me during my presentation and didn't give me half marks.
I emailed one another last week about my dissertation, had news late this week, and I'm still waiting to know if I can write or not about the topic I chose.
I'm pissed and if I have to do another year it will drive me crazy.
I can't explain how complicated they are / it is. I wish I could do any kind of internship. I applied for MTV and Warner Bros - I know I won't have an interview, but this is typically the kind of businesses I shouldn't apply to according to my teachers. It is not 'alternative enough' (well, at all).
Anyway, I'm upset right now, and honestly down, I had a great day but I'm just going to put my head under my pillow till it passes.

when does the internship need to start? do you realistically have time to find one? surely they have contacts in the uk not just france. i'd keep chasing them. good luck

I had the time to send two applications this week and I have to answer to one or two tomorrow. I'll also asked at the RAH. I'm supposed to start in early February... fingers crossed.

If you have any pieces of advice, please, PLEASE, let me know, help me, comfort me, whatever.
I'm in a deadlock and I can't stand doing nothing anymore. I'm looking for a position in event management / PR / marketing in music, cinema, well actually any kind of arts considering the situation.... not a role where I'll do copies and manage social networks, a REAL project.

Anyway, I know there are nice people in this forum... I just hope a few of you work in entertainment :/

Just out of curiosity, does anyone on here work in a design area or agency that is taking placements after easter? :)

For lack of a better place to put this, I suppose this thread is fitting enough! (maybe the diary room too?)

I'm trying to 'expand' and 'develop' my arty farty portfolio and commercial work experience for my arty farty CV.

THEREFORE.

I'm offering myself for creative services! :P

If anyone needs a logo/advertising material(flyers/posters)/illustrations/a unique gift for family or friend.
Then message me please :D
