Charnice gained tons of exciting, relevant experience whilst studying at 黑料吃瓜网, from working in the River Island head office, to interning for Tinie Tempah himself.
After finding out she has achieved a first in every single one of her projects, I had to sit down with her and ask her, how has she done it?
Charnice鈥檚 top seven tips for reaching your full potential
1. Don鈥檛 look at your peer鈥檚 work, look at years above. Your year are all in the same boat, so won鈥檛 have much to offer in comparison to those older.
2.听First year DOES matter.聽Build yourself to a standard from the beginning. Discover your capability and push yourself even further. When idea鈥檚 come to mind for a certain project, grasp them and just do it.
3. Achieving a first is nothing more than a formula 鈥� complete the brief, along with anything extra you can think of (look at older work for examples) and ensure the presentation is amazing.
4. Learn to not use cue cards in presentations. It鈥檚 more professional to know exactly what you鈥檙e talking about independently.
5. Alison will be frank about your work. Sometimes you need that. It鈥檚 much better to receive constructive criticism and know how to improve, than thinking everything鈥檚 alright when really you could鈥檝e improved drastically.
6. When examining your work, always consider 鈥� if you weren鈥檛 writing this, would you like to read it? It鈥檚 essential your聽passion听补苍诲听personality聽reflects your work.
7. What you know is great but it鈥檚 WHO you know that makes the difference. You need to get over not being comfortable and get out there. Make friends, talk to people who look interesting and let people know who you are and what you do. Self-promotion is key!
