Inspiration in the Media Industry: Nan Goldin is an American photographer, her work acts as a visual autobiography documenting herself and those around her. Her work mostly shows those of the LGBT community and the opioid epidemic. Goldin has held a number of exhibitions and shows; her first solo show was held in Boston, 1973, where she showcased her photographic journey with the city's gay and transgender communities.

  Digital Profiles: A digital profile is the sum content about a person on the internet. Digital profiles are often shared on websites, containing personal or professional information about a person and their profession. Digital Profiles allow potential clients/employers to assess whether a person is qualified to work with them and whether said person offers what they want. A good example of a digital profile is AmandaRachLee.com . When you first enter the website, the first thing you see is a photograph of herself with her name and doodles next to her.

When scrolling down on the 'home' page, you can see links to Amanda's social media, links to her latest...

A mock interview can help you learn how to answer difficult questions, develop new strategies, improve your communication skills, and so on. Before an interview, you should do research into the company you’re applying for- employers expect you to know things such as how big the company is, who their customers are, their ethos, etc. They want to see that you have a genuine interest in the job and what they do. How you answer questions will be a key factor in their decision, so you should answer questions with confidence and enthusiasm- you should also prepare for possible questions they may ask, this way you enter the interview more confident than you would have had you not prepared. You should ask a day or two before the interview what the dress code is so that you’re not going to be dressed too casual or too formal for it. Prepare your outfit the night before ...
