A panel, drawn from local employers BBC South West, Twofour, Denhams, Silverstream and Elixel, and also including freelance photographer Richard Lappas, offered tips on how to kick-start a media career. There was also a chance for students to talk informally with the professionals to find out more about work experience opportunities and get advice on preparing for interviews.
