Hi everyone,
I began studying towards a BSc honours degree in IT & Computing in february this year, I've decided to try and get some work experience on my CV for each year throughout the degree so I'm wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction with regards to any particular businesses that may be able to provide a suitable placement for me? Area's I am interested in are networking, software development, Web development, databasing and general PC maintenance.
Thanks in advance,
Matt R
