I hope you get the exposure, Hawker. I couldn't get placement during my studies anywhere, so I went back to the one company who turned me down and I offered to work for them for free just for the experience. They took me in right away. 1 Month later I was on their payroll.
Yep, I'm fully prepared to do that. Even if they don't pay me a cent for my work I'll be happy with the experience to put on my C.V.
