Hunting & Hog Roasts

So a Monday post again it is…where on earth does the week go?! Anyway, let’s commence my penultimate post (well at least in terms of my LPD term). We found out earlier this week that Bob won’t be back with us till next term (sad times) and that Alicia Prowse will be taking over for him in the next few weeks before this term ends. Ends?! I hear you say…I know!!

This week in LPD was all about the interview process and the online module focuses on job hunting. Job hunting is very rarely an easy process, saying that, in the past it hasn’t been too bad for me. I do have the feeling though that when it comes to looking for an actual graduate job it won’t be as easy. Especially in today's job climate. There are rare thing wanted my many a people. Good job I’m not thinking about starting my career for a while then I guess.

This topic came in handy anyway as I looked at a few job postings just to get a roundabout idea of what I could be earning and  doing depending which route I decide to go down in the future. Whether it be marketing, advertising, graphic design or branding (another one I’ve added to my list). They all call for the hands of creative which is the category I desire to be in. It also called us to look into relevant employers and see what they are offering when it comes to working for them. It all seemed a bit much to take in as I’m not clear on what I want to do yet L.

The rest of the week saw me working (paid), working (non-paid) and working. This is probably how the week flew by so fast. I finished 2 essays (whoop!!) and an outline and now just have to focus on two presentations and a draft report, oh and the completion and putting together of my LPD portfolio. I sure can’t wait till the 17th of December when everything previously mentioned can be put behind me and forgotten about!!

As a way of ending the week on a good mood I decided to visit the beaut that is the Manchester Christmas Markets J….sausages, hog roasts, pretzels, chocolates and quaint little stuff…what more do you need to put you in a festive mood. It was certainly a good shout. The streets were bustling with an air of festivity and the aroma of good food, all in the presence of some Sunday winter sun. Bliss. Next week I plan on visiting Leeds’s Christmas Markets and I look forward to enduring the food and festivity once again J

The Christmas Markets of Manchester.
...Watch this space. That. Is. All.

Summed Up and Shut Down.
