Looking for opportunities

 On my year out
I managed to get a few days at a studio in Bristol called Wildseed
I assisted an animation workshop for kids in my local town.

LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES

- I continue checking that gold dust link that Mike gave us : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eR2oAXOuflr8CZeGoz3JTrsgNj3KuefbdXJOmNtjEVM/edit#gid=2033230141
 

- With my CV updated, after emailing back and forth with my Careers Advisor, Sharon, I could confidently start signing up to more job sites, feeling more prepared.

 Sharon had previously directed me to Prospects as well which really helped me understand the difference between a CV and cover letter.

- I've now got a speculative cover letter sorted for finding future opportunities.
