Evidence of research into employment and progression opportunities
My evidence will be a series of screenshots of emails sent, social media posts, and videocalls organized with professionals in the XR industry.
Social Media
I started building a social media presence. For employment opportunities I started reaching out to people on LinkedIn privately and also did a post saying that I am looking for an internship in the XR industry for the summer.
I worked on my LinkedIn in profile, improving my bio and trying to post more often

the post was quite successful, few people commented and a person which contacted me previously, asking me about my BA course, messaged me saying that he has few small projects available:
Last year I had the opportunity to get in contact with two professionals in the industry and had a video call with them, talking about VR and how industries are approaching it, what opportunities they offer to people and what are the fields of focus.
Also reached out to an Alunmni from the masters course I want to pursue (MA fashion Futures). I reached out to her as I saw her project on UAL website and she used VR technology.
I sent emails with cover letters as well from job adverts I found on linked in:
