From LSM Head Sarah Barrow:
“[This year’s] survey of the ‘Destination for Leavers from HE’ ends this Friday. We did extremely well last year with 96% of graduates who responded reporting as in employment and over 70% in graduate level employment (in top 3 of Media courses in UK).
Tom Ridgewell, AKA Tom Ska, has told us about this event planned for April 28th on campus. Imagine:
“Hundreds of happy-go-lucky potential students walking around the university of Lincoln all day, filming every second of it and distributing it to thousands more potential students each.”
The organising team could do with more help, particularly from Lincoln-based people.

I am currently employed with Gems Tv and Gems Tv Extra, working as a technical operator. Gems TV is a reverse auction shopping channel specialising in jewellery, which broadcasts 24/7 on freeview channel 43. The company also owns Gems TV eXtra and Jewellery Maker. Continue reading

In September 2010 I graduated with a 2:1 in Media Production. In the midst of rising graduate unemployment, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a job in television. Little did I know that a year later I would achieve my first TV Credits as ‘Offline Editor’ for a new children’s TV series: Cartoonito Tales.

We are now in pre-production of an original Sci-Fi Action-Horror movie called The Drift (12 Cert) and we are hoping your team might like to join us!
