Hey lacantina,
I would recommend that you build a portfolio of sites to show off your talent, maybe start creating a few communities which if propular can prove to your future employer that you have marketed correctly as you have gained members.

If you in London i would recommend you go see Lycos, I did my work experience there and they are really friendly, dont bother sending them a CV just go up there directly they love enthusiastic people as all New Media companies.

Maybe opt for an original site to promote your skills and background...

Anyway I wish you all the best,

Sam
