I'm a recent graduate and I've been looking for career opportunities in all the wrong places. I haven't been on an interview where, after I left, I knew that I would be able to put my heart into it. So, now I am pursuing a career in the music industry: something which has always fascinated me and something that I know will be a great fit for me and the business. I am in no means a musician, but I can do pretty much everything else.
