From an Outsider to an Insider
I had just finished university and was looking [for, at, on, into] a career. I was sending out a lot of [requests, enquiries, applications, demands] but I couldn’t even get an interview. Someone suggested that I apply for an internship and it was the best thing I ever did! I worked for eight weeks at a newspaper. The work was quite varied. I worked in [every, each, both, other] of the departments – I started off working in accounts, then in the design department, and finally in the newsroom, and I gained a real [picture, vision, view, insight] into how the industry worked, which was extremely rewarding.
It was an amazing experience, I got on-the-job [training, teaching, learning, studying] and had a mentor who was willing to answer any questions I [said, had, did, made]. Now when I go to an interview, I can say that I’ve had articles published and know how to lay out the pages and put together a newspaper. [Another, Every, Either, Neither] benefit is that I made many useful contacts. Even though the company I worked for didn’t offer me a [job, work, vacancy, experience], they did promise to write me a reference letter, which might be more [tedious, stressful, useful, rewarding] than my academic qualifications. The one problem with internships, however, is that they are badly-paid – I barely received enough to cover my expenses.

A Dream Job
It’s a job attracted over 34,000 applications from around the world. Everyone applied had to send in a 60-second video explained why they wanted the job and what skills they had to offer. And what was this amazing job? Caretaker of Hamilton Island, in the Great Barrier Reef. It’s a place it’s sunny and warm all year round, and probably has the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. The person got the job had to explore the islands nearby, and report back to the world about their experiences. The sixteen people videos most impressed the employers came to Australia for an interview. The lucky man was finally chosen for the job was Ben Wilson from the UK. Unfortunately for him the job was only for six months!
