I found it really helpful to get a heads up in what type of teaching qualifications give you the most freedom in the age groups you are able to work with. The PGdipe sounds slightly more vocational from this first impression, which would be more tailored to my experience, interest and direction as opposed to the standard PGCE.
Unfortunately I don't really have a clue about graphic design, and I'm starting to notice that work experience in that field is more accessible and straight forward than requesting work experience for illustration in particular. This doesn't want to make me be a Graphic Designer, but I think it would be helpful if I read up on the principles just so that I have a basic knowledge of the field.
Jenna's working week sounds exciting, busy and very stimulating with the constant change of environment with multiple projects on the go, which is the kind of career frame I would aim to build myself.
Steps to take from reading this email:
- Research into PGdipe qualifications
- Write down a list of career goals; what do I want to achieve within my creative practice short term and long term?
- Have some bloody confidence in my work and stop being scared to draw things even if they aren't good!
