"Its not what you know but who you know"
(Gill, 2007)
In my desired industry of Film and Television this rings true to me more then any other academic reference. After what felt like millions and millions of anonymous emails to HR girls at Seven, (eight) Nine and Ten and no responses I really felt like that was it. BUT THEN.. like a rainbow on a cloudy day, a lolliepop after the dentist or a drink with Rebeca Black on Friday came a contact my mother went to school with who worked for Packed to the Rafters.
Oh so casually she offered me a Week's work exprience. I was gobbsmacked. Gill discusses the idea of "Informality is the new black" wherby Work place opportunities are attainable by social media outlets and friends of friends.

Is this fair? Not sure. Katie Dunn seems to have the right idea, if its all about networking and socialising
"Why Am I even going to Uni?" ( Best not tell Katie about the end of the world: 2012!)
Just inhale and exhale and count and the stress will leave you
