What can I do if I cannot find an advertised opportunity that I like?
Many people find that the best way of securing a great internship or work experience opportunity is to make speculative applications. That means writing to organisations who are not advertising, to see if they may be able to offer you work experience, an internship, work shadowing or some other form of assistance. You can find information about this on the speculative applications section of our website. In addition to our resources, you may also find it helpful to read guidance from other sources, such as Prospects.ac.uk.
