PLACEMENT INTERVIEW
THE ARCHIPELAGO
The Archipelago is a studio that I have followed for a while. I really like their clean aesthetic, as well as the client base they work for. I recently decided to get in contact with them in regards to placement and job opportunities.
I reached out via email to Michael Lewis attaching my bechance portfolio link.
I received a quick response and Mike seemed to be impressed with my work, and invited me in to the studio for an interview.
I arranged a small printed portfolio, and also took some examples of real work. The interview went really well and lasted well over 2 hours. This was one of my first real interviews so I was nervous going in. I found that the various presentations i had done over the past 3 years at uni were really beneficial and i soon felt confident talking through my work.
The interview was successful and I was invited in to the studio to meet the studios project manager. After the second interview I was invited in for a week work experience in June followed by a 6 month placement after the summer.
This placement offer has left me with a lot to think about.
The placement is nominal payment at £10 a day. This would be a great financial strain and i would have to get a part time job to support my self.
At the moment I am struggling whether the experience is worth the financial strain, as I will be a graduate by the time of the placement and would expect more.
I plan to keep my options open for now and see if anything else comes up
