Mine went pretty awful, I went to my old primary school for a week and although the kids were nice, I hated sitting in the staff room because they just badgered me with questions so I ate alone in a classroom. My second week I did it at my aunt's accountants and her boss wanted me to do a presentation and present it to the whole floor at the end of the week, I was nervous all week and then he forgot all about it on the Friday and sent me on my way:umm2:

What about your's?

Terrible. I was bored with nothing to do and I always got sent home on Tuesdays because the supervisor on that day couldn't be arsed with finding anything for me to do. Then they gave me a glowing review and my write up tore them apart.

Mine was pretty fun

Was at PC World, two friends from school were there with me and we had a great laugh, learnt a lot about the assistant roles there at the same time too

Towards the end of the two weeks the managers told us to pick a product up to £20 worth in the store and they would give it to us as a gift to take home. I remember picking a Sims 2 expansion pack :laugh: Got a nice thank you card off them too which I still have at home in my memory box

I think I was lucky with PC World, everyone else in school said theirs was horrible lol

Why?

I was a rebel







:joker:

I'm actually being half serious btw, I wasn't allowed to do it because I was always getting into trouble, I always had a behaviour card that all the teachers I had that day had to sign and an attendance card because I truanted for almost a year constant haha then got expelled and had to go to a new high school then I got expelled from there too and my parents had a very difficult time getting the first school to take me back :idc:

The forum rules aren't my rules :fan:

And anyway, I left school 17 years ago I am a changed person since I became a later day nun. :idc:

Well I spent mine working with my Dad at the council he works at, and I went round several of the departments.

Food safety took the ****ing cake though because we went to inspect a restaurant in Brick Lane and a ****ing rat ran out across the main restaurant floor as they were finishing up the inspection.

I didn't get any through school due to cut backs but I seeked work experience on my own. I loved it which led to them hiring me and I'm still working there over a year later!
