hi this is an off-topic request

Hi Guys,

I have just graduated from a London uni in Computer Science with 2:1.
Therefore, I find myself a bit out of water at the moment as the gap
b/w industry and the educational sector is wide. Therefore, Just to get
some work experience in a real-life company I want to do a voluntary
placement in a software house.

I am looking for advice from some senior person in this field, asking
whether
1-) is this possible to get a placement after graduation ?
2-) is this a good idea?
3-) How can I look for one as simply looking for software houses alone
is a daunting job itself in london?
4-) What should I do at the moment?
5-) Can internet based sites help me in this regard?

I hope someone out there will respond back to this appeal, as I am
staring down a dark tunnel at the moment. thanx.
