1. Breast Cancer charity skydive

I will hopefully be doing a skydive for Breast Cancer UK in May/June
time and I need to raise £405 to be able to do it. I've been promised
about £40 so far so if you could sponsor me that would be great. Please
reply letting me know if you can sponsor me and how much for. C'mon,
it's for a good cause!

4. Talentburst Internships and Placements

talentburst - *an alternative placement*.

- Are you looking for an internship for the summer?
- Or are you graduating this year but still haven't found a job?
- Do you want to gain valuable business experience working in growing,
entrepreneurial companies?

talentburst offers university students and recent graduates a broad range of
unique, flexible and high-calibre placements at a range of growing,
entrepreneurial and ambitious companies. Our placements are offered
all-year-round and can last from 2 weeks to 12 months (including an option
for part-time work). We organise and manage the entire placement for you,
completely free! Whether you're in the early stages of your undergraduate
degree, or a final year undergraduate, a PhD student or an MBA student, we
can help you find a new kind of placement.

Here are just a few reasons why a talentburst placement could be right for
you:

*1. A great alternative to the City* - our placements provides you with
exciting and rewarding work in a dynamic, fast-moving environment. Working
in the types of companies that we work with offers less bureaucracy, and *a
chance for real recognition and to really make a difference!*

* *

2. *Flexibility* - you can fit working on a placement around your other
commitments, such as travelling or applying for permanent jobs. Work during
the summer, or after you've graduated, to get a taste of what working in
fast-growing companies is like!

3. *Entrepreneurial experience* - if you want to start your own business in
the future, the best way to learn how it's done is to *work in a start-up
along with successful entrepreneurs* who have done it themselves.

4. *Longer-term benefits* - many companies offer full-time job offers after
the placement is complete!
