Hi @elcatu

Not sure if you will have tried this already, but you could try reaching out to brands and companies directly, most likely via email, and send them a message asking about work experience. I'm currently looking for a placement as part of my degree so I know the struggle! I've found I have had the best response if I send over an email to brands and attach my CV, portfolio, cover letter to the email, so a brand can look over everything in one go. You could also try sending messages to brands over on Instagram - slightly more informal but your messages may be picked up quicker than an email.

Hopefully you get something sorted!
Emily 🙂
