Professional Studies About my report 10/12/13

I am going to write my report on working as an Arts Evaluator in the community have decided to write my report on this because its where I have done my placement so I think its beneficial to be able to talk about my experience and how the placement has helped me to develop my skills and knowledge about presenting art and also working with different artists and also the community.


I could write a cover letter to so I could apply for a job this experience would help me to right a cover letter, I could also mention this in a job interview as the experience I have had and what I did in this time and what I gained from this experience and what I could bring to the company.
