It was great to see so many of you at the Creative Mentoring meeting on Thursday.
We've been involved in a few similar schemes over the years but this really does look the best I've seen by some distance. It's an incredible opportunity and could be life-changing in terms of a career in the creative industries or securing a university place.
As discussed in the original meeting, only apply if you are completely committed to attending every single session, meeting, event and completing every task. These kinds of opportunities are very rare and it is vital they are not wasted on a student who lacks the commitment to make the journey into central London every week or two.
The online application form can be found here. However, before you apply, take some time to think carefully about the questions on the application form as your answers will determine whether you get through to a phone interview:
1. Why would you like a mentor? (50 words)
2. What do you like and why do you like it? Choose anything, a film, a YouTuber, a place, a piece of art, anything! (50 words)
3. What are you proud of and why are you proud of it? A responsibility, a piece of work, a club you're a part of, an award, anything (50 words)
4. Are there any particular skills you would like to develop? (20 words)
The word counts are deliberately very low to ensure you don't waste a single word in your application. Accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar is crucial and you really need to make sure you stand out ahead of students across London. That means thinking, planning and re-writing until you are absolutely happy with it.
Finally, remember Isabel's advice to apply for as many sectors as possible as this will increase your chance of getting on the programme.
The deadline is Friday 22 September - don't miss it!
Good luck and do take advantage of this incredible opportunity!
