Living in the Real World

May 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Back at the beginning of April, I was asked to complete a questionnaire on what it was like to be a graduate living in the West Midlands, something which is actually very new to me, but something which as the Graduate Apprentice, I have a unique opportunity to shout about.

I am passionate about the area, living in the city centre has been fantastic for both Laura and I to date, and I could not recommend it more highly to anyone.  I described living in Birmingham as “Offering the perfect balance between a professional and personal lifestyle” and I stand by that.  If you want to get involved in the city, there are a number of ways you can, but if you just want to work hard and play hard, Birmingham has the answers.  Anyway, I was lucky enough to be featured in Real World Magazine, something which goes out to graduates across the country.  It even features the name associated with the Apprentice, Sir Alan, on the front cover.  I would just like to point out that the Graduate Apprentice is not part of the BBC programme, its something totally different all-together.  But it does provide some great press coverage for what is a fantastic role, so who am I to complain.  You can read the full magazine here, scroll through to page 36 to see the interview.
