Work Experience

[Arneldo]

Jus wondering if any of you have gone on Work Experience, and if so, Were?

Iam going in a few weeks time.
I have 1 Week working in Photograpy and im hopeing to get one week working in Natinal History Muesem.
I was hopeing to get it in a radio station but it didnt work out.

I have another 2 weeks in Febuary and, Its a long shot, but im gonna ask in The Zoo and a Sea Animal Santuary.

[Lauren]

I did mine in a library... (THE boringest thing ever!) The school sorted it out for me cos I was late with my application for the local radio stattion. I also had the chance to do two weeks for the local paper, but it intruded into my AS levels. :bawling:

[Captain.Remy]

1 month is the biggest luxury hotel in the south of france, 1 month in the Piazza Athene, Paris.

And 1 week: Bishop Stortford (lol) in november in a coffee shop !

[MarkWaldorf]

Im doing mine in the London War Museum. My auntie works there so Im doing all different jobs in the departments. I'll be better then Paris and Nicole :laugh: I've never done anything like it so Im bound to mess up.

[Legend]

I don't think i'm doing any, my school 'agree's against it', pathetic *****. My headteacher, oh sorry 'principal' aint good for my head. I want to do work experience. :bawling:

Edited by Sunny_01 - your creative method of beating the swearing filter has been removed - you really have to stop doing this

[Chrizzle]

I did Burtons! :bigsmile:
It was fun for the first week, but I got tired of being locked away in a sweaty store room and only having an hour lunch.
9 to 5 sucks!

[MarkWaldorf]

:laugh: Working 9 to 5! Pfft, OMG, Imagine being fired :joker:

[Chrizzle]

Lmao
Someone I know did

I actually did work 9 to 5, it was meant to be 9 to 5.30 but they didnt know that:wink:

[MarkWaldorf]

:laugh: Owwa 5:30. :sad:

[Princess]

Mine was brillant! I worked in a montessori for the first week and I only did 9 to 12 and I LOVE children so it was just perfect. The second week I was in a primary school. Again brillant cos I did 9 to half 2 and the kids were lovely to me too oh and my mum was working there too whoch was nice.

[Ruth*Star]

I hav'nt done work Experance, But i want to work in a estate agency for a week. In Hallifax and for my other week if i get one, i'd like to do something that involves Fashion Designing.

[Bells]

I did a whole working week, Monday-Friday 9-5pm which wasn't too bad but got a bit boring at times. I did it at a local solicitors' firm.
Not so much work experience, but I'm doing one or two random careers courses over the next few months I think. Might find some more work experience as well if I need it, or can be bothered. :hugesmile:

[Dan_]

I did my work experience at Ethel Austin(unisex clothes shop).I had to work 9-5.30pm for the week and it was fairly dull other than when my friends would come into the shop and mess about until they were thrown out like 3 girls from my year who came in asking to try on wonderbra's and if I could help them :laugh:.Lunchtimes were good because loads of my mates were working in the town centre too and we'd all meet up or go and see the one's who were not on a lunch break.The old hippy's in the town centre got mocked and all :dance:

[BigSister]

[Legend]

16 and i've still not had it nor am i getting it. I've never ever worked - good or bad thing?

[MarkWaldorf]

Bad Ant, very bad. :bored:

I got matched with a job. I'm applying to be a Journalist. We had to write job applications and everything. I'm so scared. :hugesmile:

[sol]

I did some in Year 6 at primary school, I can't remember the name for it but it's where you design buildings and stuff, it was pretty boring to be honest.
I was meant to do some in Year 11 after my GCSEs but I just told my school I couldn't find any and then the people who couldn't find any all got a trip up to Alton Towers so I was happy. :bigsmile:

[BigSister]

i never did any work till my work experience Ant soi dont worry

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm quite shocked at the amount of people who haven't done it. I thought it was done throughout the UK?

[Dan_]

It's meant to be.I did mine at some shop that closed about 2 years after I left, was always busy when I was working there, must have gone downhill without me :laugh2:

[MarkWaldorf]

:joker: LMAO Dan!

Who'd a thought you'd leave such an impression.

[MarkWaldorf]

WE next week. Absolutely dreading it. :laugh:

[Ruth*Star]

Right a Few people know what happened to me, lost my placement, was meant to be going to a medical center, so in 2 weeks I'll now be going to a care home for old people.

[MarkWaldorf]

Awww, have fun there Ruth! :thumbs:

[Ruth*Star]

Thanks Mark, you have fun where you are going as well.

[MarkWaldorf]

Thanks lol
It's all the way in Central London though... :|

[Ruth*Star]

Mines about 25/30 mins from my home, and its near a fish and chip shop, so i could have fish and chips everyday for dinner if they let me :laugh:

[MarkWaldorf]

Lmao, lucky! :bigsmile: Everyday? LMAO

[Ruth*Star]

Yeah, Just some fries everyday would be nice, its near a corner shop aswell, so i could get some magazines or something on the way home.
so i guess i'm happy going to a old persons home, the medical centre was on a main road and 1 hour and bit away from my home and the hours were a little longer.

[MarkWaldorf]

Aw, yeah. So is social care something you'd like to do?

[Ruth*Star]

I want to be a Estate agent, which needs social skills so yeah.

[CassetteFinger]

i worked in some school for my work experience was alright.

[Stu]

I had work experience with me mate in HMV earlier this year. What a fun disaster it was , because it mainly consisted of me sitting their doing nothing and having arguments with the stockroom guy about the wrestling DVD's.

Then when it came time to phone customers , I used the wrong phone and made in house calls instead to Gary , the manager.

Of course I did not realise it was the manager so I went about explaining to him that we now had his Mortal Kombat : Deception in stock.

No pay either , the bastards. At least I could get free water from the 'recreaitonal' room. Fun times.

[Nicola]

It was a long time ago, but I remember my work experience in an office job when I was at school, I got a good report at the end of it which my parents and form tutor were pleased about.

I've also done some volunteer work since then and would like a good job at some stage.
