Major excitement!

So after a month of ahem, slightly obsessively checking my emails everyday to check if anything exciting had landed in my inbox, I finally received an email from Channel 4 during a hungover photography lecture last Tuesday. And yes, what was in the email definitely put a smile on my face and took away the slight nausea and pounding headache that was preoccupying me moments before. The e-mail read ‘Congratulations, 4talent would like to offer you a placement with Channel 4. Your placement will be in the Press & Publicity team for one week starting from Monday 7^th November. Please email to confirm acceptance or call me if you have any questions.’

 Will be great to see how the department at Ch4 publicises its programmes across print, broadcast and online. And will hopefully bring me a step closer to deciding what I want to do in the future after Uni ends and I have to step out into the big bad world, eek!

 Needless to say I’m VERY excited, definitely didn’t think I was going to get anything, especially after meeting so many super talented people at the 4talent open day a couple of weeks back in Manchester. Can’t wait to spend a week in London in the hustle and bustle of the capital city! Somehow even after reaching the grand old age of 20 (soon to be 21, gulp) I still get a massive buzz whenever I visit London, even it’s just for a few hours or a couple of days. It’s something about the atmosphere and mass of people that makes me all excited and reminiscent of childhood days out. And I get to see the ‘4’ in person; you know the one on the Channel 4 adverts that transforms itself magically to different locations?

 If anyone reading this thinks they’d like to apply for a work placement at Channel 4 too, check out this link http://4talent.channel4.com/  Definitely something for everyone whether you’re interested in tv production, sound technology or like me press and publicity..
