angela@poachedcreative: Precious time
http://poachedangela.blogspot.com/2009/05/precious-time.html
Monday, 25 May 2009. We're 6 weeks in and so much has happened in that short space of time. Jeevan has had a baby.and I'm the proud mother of a bouncing baby laptop! I have a PC at home but it's over 3 years old now, which is positively geriatric in computer terms. The laptop's very pretty and girly - from the metallic rose finish to the Swarovski crystals on the lid. I don't go in for bling that much but the laptop itself has a great spec, so why not? I know 10.45pm isn't the best time to start work...

angela@poachedcreative: To be or not to be ... self-employed?
http://poachedangela.blogspot.com/2009/05/to-be-or-not-to-be-self-employed.html
Wednesday, 27 May 2009. To be or not to be . self-employed? I feel as though I'm working full-time at the moment. If I haven't got stuff to do for Poached, then I'm collating information. For a music archive website, or I'm preparing items to include in a radio show. Things are getting busy. What worries me is how I can make a steady living out of writing. I know cash flow won't be consistent. I have rent and bills to pay, and if I come off benefits, suddenly there's no safety net. To have a chat about m...

brij@poachedcreative: June 2009
http://poachedbrij.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 June 2009. 4th Week at Poached. It is now my 4. Week at Poached Creative. Again this past week has been really busy, with the various work activities I am undertaking (see last week’s blog). In terms of workload, it’s been just as busy and demanding, though I now feel a little more accustomed to the new routine. I’m meeting new people all the time and being presented with different circumstances that I wouldn’t have faced before. However, what will be my reward for doing all of this? As I am...

brij@poachedcreative: A very busy week
http://poachedbrij.blogspot.com/2009/06/very-busy-week.html
Thursday, 18 June 2009. A very busy week. Being a patron for the art of cartoons and animation (see profile), I have decided that for each week of blogging, I will choose a well-known cartoon character that best represents my weekly activities, and persona. So for this week – the colourful character who best represents me is the Road Runner. On reflection, I am finding it to be an interesting and somewhat new experience. Almost as if I am seeing the real ‘working’ world in its full glory. We were require...

brij@poachedcreative: A new beginning
http://poachedbrij.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-beginning.html
Tuesday, 9 June 2009. Six weeks with Poached Creative. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, six weeks with Poached Creative, working to improve my creative writing and gain some experience of the working environment. Well… whatever would come out of it, it would sure beat the unproductive days gazing at the “hypnotic box” or endless job applications being sent at the career development course, which I was also attending. So what was my reason for being here, at Poached? What should I expect from it? I came ...

chris@poachedcreative: September 2009
http://poachedchris.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 September 2009. Now I’m sure I got it right. With my second week at What’s Up Information. Just like my Poached days, I’m learning some completely new skills every day. And, just like at Poached, they are useful, transferable skills. Just yesterday I found myself posting event news on Twitter. And replicating the post on a blog and on Facebook with the touch of a button. In addition, I discovered the immense benefit of TinyURL. When trying to stick to Twitter’s 140 character limit. Is a websit...

chris@poachedcreative: August 2009
http://poachedchris.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 August 2009. Some good things must end. Anything you can do. Better late than never. This, along with the driver’s unwillingness to follow his sat-nav’s instructions, meant I was a little bit late arriving today. I still managed to complete some work for the Poached website, and in the afternoon have a meeting with Jess. Goodbye – at least for now. A job well done. Overall, it’s been a rewarding, valuable, and pleasurable experience. When I reflect on the last 12 weeks, I can safel...Althoug...

http://poachedangela.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 1 October 2009. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye. Today I finally got my certificate for completing the twelve-week Poached Creative Writing and Communications training programme. Today is also my very last day (at least for now) with Poached Creative. Chris Warburton is currently loving his work experience for What's Up Information (read his blog. And(drumroll please). I got the voluntary position with Save the Children! Will they like me? Will I somehow find a way to screw this up ...

chris@poachedcreative: Double figures
http://poachedchris.blogspot.com/2009/08/double-figures.html
Thursday, 13 August 2009. I have been at Poached for ten weeks now, and I have learnt a quite startling amount. I forget that sometimes. That’s why it’s important to take stock every so often. Otherwise, I lose track of the progress I’ve made, and don’t appreciate my achievements in the way I should. A bit of perspective is needed. For instance, right now I’m worried the Camden Calling. Not just filling time. My latest new skill. The first thing that struck me about the site was how ridiculously easy it ...
