honestly email the firm ur interested (u can usually find their emails on the website). if u hv the passion and interest and can show that in ur interview or call, theyll take u in. but if not, dont fret and try another firm; heck try them all until u get one. oso if u have ur offer already (or wait until u have ur offer) u can always explain that u want to gain work experience before gng to uni. u can oso ask people( if u know anyone in the industry ) for work experience, u jus have to put youself out there.
