Class:
Alec gave a presentation on job contracts and freelancing. It covered what you should expect from a job contract and what it should have, pension and what is expected when it comes to experience and no experience.
—Exercise —
After the first presentation we were tasked with finding areas of concern on a brief from a company. I was sorted into group 1.
Problems:
– 2 week wait period before we can use a computer provided by the company
– Didn’t mention what software to use or if it is provided
– request more information on the overall style the company wants.
– Didn’t specify a timeline of when everything needs to be done
– there wasn’t a mention of pay and there isn’t a budgetÂ
After the task, Alec gave another presentation on placement year. It covered how many credits a placement year is worth, what you are assessed on and it gives you insight on what to expect after graduation from a job in the industry.
