I'm David．Not long after I started my college course(课程)，I began to look for some work experience．It was a busy course，but I had a free day each week．I wanted to do all I could to make myself employable(具备受雇条件的)．Like many students，I was worried about leaving college with no job to go to．And this encouraged me to go out and look for placements(实习职位)．
I had several different placements．I decided I wouldn't let any opportunities(机会)go．I quickly realized that me way toimpresspossible employers
is to show them，that you are ready to work hard．Employers don't want someone who just does what they are asked and makes tea．What's more．I took every placement I was offered even if it didn't have to do with my course．
Among the things I did was to work at a radio station and at a newspaper．I think it's been more useful than just reading books．You do need to study，of course，but college doesn't teach you everything．I have much more confidence(信心)now．I'm ready to deal with anything．While I was working at the radio station，I met a lot of interesting people and they helped me a lot．Some of them may help me find work in the future．I certainly advise getting some work experience while you're in school．
