Careers Advice Session

Today I had a one-to-one careers advice session with Sue, the college's career coach. It was super handy, and made me feel a lot less stressed about life after graduation. I explained to her that I was thinking about having two sides to my practice; doing my own freelance work, and working with people. Here are some of the points/options we discussed:

• Teaching: Potentially a T/A part time, and I can do my PGDIP when I'm ready, realistically in a few years time
• Gallery work: I suggested that I'm interested in helping out with workshops in galleries and helping do tours with schools and things, although Sue said that the latter is usually something that qualified teachers do. I could still apply though!
• Artist residencies: This could be a good way to become involved with community projects that additionally contains some elements of teaching

Although I've typed up these notes really adhock, it has urged me to really get cracking and start making plans and contacting the right people to get to where I need to be.
