Matalan have sent a form for me to fill out about which area of Matalan head office I am most keen to learn more about, this is the in house designing side of Matalan. This consists of home furnishing designing such as table clothes and other interiors. Im really hoping that a placement will be available Im really keen to see where this degree could get me, it would be a real motivator for my final year if I think that designing for a company like that is what I want to do (and hopefully it will!).
The form is asking for dates and so with any luck I will have heard back ASAP from them, so now I play the waiting game for Matalan, Im also pondering about maybe trying to get some work experience or more work shadowing over the summer, this would allow me to look for a longer placement and see whether opportunities really are more forthcoming in the south!! I will need to give this some thought about post degree where I will want to be based North or South and whether this will have a negative effect on job opportunities I suppose I have a bit of time yet but gets me thinking hmmmmm.
