This is a bit delayed but as you have seen, I have been a guest writer on Davidthedesigner’s blog. First of all, I wrote about my experiences from education into employment and then on 23 May I wrote about the things that I’d learned whilst on placement and the first few months of employment.

You can read the original post here but here is the new and improved version after 4 months of placement and almost 3 months of employment.
