Paperback. Everyone says "get some work experience." Almost nobody tells you how. Media work experience is competitive, informally arranged, and rarely advertised in one obvious place - which means most people never even try. Foot in the Door is the practical, UK-specific guide that fixes that, whichever stage of life you're approaching it from. Whether you're a school student arranging a week in the holidays, a T Level student whose industry placement is built into your course, a university student chasing a placement year or vacation scheme, or an adult returning to work after a career break - this book gives you a concrete plan written specifically for your situation, not one generic list of tips. Inside, you'll find: Four route-specific chapters covering school/holiday work experience, T Level placements, university internships, and returning to workThe exact words to use - real, adaptable email and phone-call templates for cold approaches, warm introductions, thank-you messages, and follow-upsLegal and insurance questions answered in plain English: minimum wage, DBS checks, employer insurance, and safeguarding, all sourced from official UK guidanceA researched directory of 20+ real UK media organisations - the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, and more - with their current work experience and early-careers routesA "Myths vs Reality" chapter that clears up the excuses that stop good placements from ever being attemptedA complete, worked example of a one-page CV built from nothing, plus a full template library and before/during/after checklistThe follow-up ladder that turns one week of making tea into a genuine first job - the single most commonly skipped step in the entire process This isn't advice about media careers in general - it's a step-by-step manual for the one moment almost nobody prepares you for: getting someone to say yes to a week of your time, and making sure that week doesn't just end there.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
