LinkedIn - Boden Job Role

Having seen a Junior Graphic Design role at one of the clothing brands whose practice I admire, I contacted one of the designers listed as one of their current employees. Due to the start date listed on the job role, I am currently unable to apply however still expressed my interest towards the role for future opportunities. Doing so has made me more confident in reaching out to other creatives on LinkedIn as it can develop connections and answer questions I may have. 

Following this discussion, I contacted the HR department in regards to a placement. Unlike the impression Emily gave me, the company do not offer a placement. This is a company I have 'liked' on LinkedIn to keep up to date with their advertised job roles in the future.

Chrissie Elliott

As part of my CoP3 research, I arranged to meet with Christina Elliott, a entrepreneurship researcher who ran a careers workshop. The aim of the meeting was to gather a better understanding of Elliott's knowledge and research into Social Enterprises. Arranging the meeting developed my professional communication skills over email, ensuring that information was communicated clearly.
