work experience attempts

'Hi
Im a third year Multimedia Student studying at N.W.S.A.D. Iv been interested in many areas of design communication since i can remember, but over the past year, my love of games and interactivity has really become apparent in my concepts and ideas. It is an area I know i want to work with when iv left Uni.
I was wondering if there was anywhere i could get some proffessional feedback on my work. Im in a limbo of not knowing whether my skills and portfolio is enough to go straight to industry or whether its best for me to do an MA.
I would love to come to the open days in March, but i was wondering if there were any other times possible to visit and see what the 'working world' of games is like.

Any help would be greatly recieved.

Yours sincerly

Beth Parker

finding out the hard way of 'getting into the biz' grrrr....keep chugging tho:)
