Guests this week
We hear from Phoebe Makett (@phoebe_be_), an arts management student at London South Bank University. She reads a short essay about her degree experiences and hopes and fears for entering the arts job market.
Hannah Clements, student development officer, in the Student Enterprise and Employability service at the University of the Arts London talks about the biggest challenges arts graduates face in the current climate.
And Ben Westhead who graduated this year with a BA Fine Art at Chelsea and is now president of the University of the Arts London Students' Union, discusses internships, opportunities and graduate expectations.
News review
We ask what impact a new campaign to highlight unpaid internships will have on opportunities for graduates. Plus, how understanding your personal values can help you overcome the dreaded self-fulfilling prophecy of social interaction (or, in plain English, how shy networkers can beat the vicious circle of nerves holding them back) and our verdict on the graduates selling advertising space - on their faces.
