Some other useful links for my students:
Do you steal bandwidth without even realising? A good explanation of the problem is at: maestroawards.com/EN_art_07.shtml Now you have some marketable skills, why not do some good? Doing pro bono (unpaid) projects for not-for-profit bodies is a great way to get experience and also add to your folio & thus help you to get paid work. And you get a nice, warm feeling inside. GoodCompany.com.au can help to put you in touch with businesses who need your skills. email me any other suggestions :)
