mick

Mick came to Stockport to help us get a better understanding of how to prepare ourselves for life after university.  
Mick studied a HND at Blackburn in Graphic Design but felt he wasnt very good at it so went on to study Advertising till he eventually became a copywriter.  Mick works as a freelancer and works with companies such as Chase, Love, Macaan and many more he also travels places such as Leeds, Birmingham and London.

i found Micks advice extremely helpful he stated that "theres always someone working harder than you" which kind of hit me and made me think there will be somebody that will all goes that extra mile and has really made me think that maybe that feeling that you have done  enough is never really enough and could go beyond.

Mick advised us that we should be in contact with as many different agencies as possible and to start building communications now because in a month or two time there will be thousand of graduates attempting to get placement or jobs.

Mick also advised us to work all the terrible jobs that no one else wants to do he said that this would show commitment and could lead to a full live brief job he also stated that we should keep onto agencies even if they dont firstly respond as this aswel shows commitment.


i found the whole lecture really helpful and inspiring it has given me that push i needed into getting my portfolio perfected and stepping up my communication with companies more.
