    Union???...

    I haven't heard of anything and I've looked into a bit myself. Maybe laying down a contract first, always gives you leverage. You can get any solicitor to draw them up for quite cheap, but unfortunately I think every designer usually learns the hard way, by doing the work and not getting...

    Job Advice!

    I'd triple check everything before you hand anything in to be looked at, they will probably scrutinize everything you do in that first week! but if you make a good impression, are friendly and be yourself, you'll be on to a winner! Good luck!
