Getting in and getting on within the creative industries is tough. There are more people studying and graduating in creative subjects each year and although the creative industries are growing too, there are still more people looking for jobs than there are vacancies...

...which means that you need to be a bit more cunning and creative than the other people you're up against.

• How prepared for your job hunt are you?

  
  Getting a job is a job in itself. It’s hard work, time consuming and usually involves a whole lot of ‘no’ before you get a ‘yes’ – are you prepared for that?

  It is essential to make it your business to know what is going on in your industry. People will be more receptive if you are able to demonstrate industry knowledge. Remind yourself of how to do this.
