Skysoclear inspires students at Southampton Solent University

Posted by Ross Chapman on 28 Feb 12

Last week, we gave a talk to Southampton Solent University students, sharing our experience in running a video production company and helping students plan for their futures after graduating.

The talk outlined our early days, including my early freelance career staying in hotels for 2 months while working in London, culminating with the start of Skysoclear and our future.

The presentation aimed to focus the students on their careers after leaving University. We shared tips on getting interviews and how to make the right impression.

Dr. Jamie Clarke, course leader of Media Culture and Production at Southampton Solent University, said:

“Ross provided excellent career advice for those starting out in the TV industry. His experience both working for major TV suppliers and beginning his own company provided differing perspectives in terms of available career paths. Ross was also especially considerate in answering questions and offering to email students subsequently in terms of providing examples of contracts etc. We will definitely inviting him back again!”
