A large part of my role involves speaking with entrepreneurs or attending events and writing articles for the business community.

      Each year The Writer, one of the top business writing agencies in the world, selects twenty students to do a two-day work programme at their HQ in London. They call this Word Experience. You can read about it here http://www.thewriter.com/what-we-think/blog/calling-all-second-year-undergraduates-2/#.VcERhLUt0Ug. Over the two days we worked on different exercises and learned about how the organisation and the industry works. At the start each participant was asked for their favourite word. Then at the end we were split into teams of three and had to devise a company and a marketing pitch inspired by our three words. Show less
