work experience..

[cocaine]

im due to start my work experience once im in year 11, and we have the forms and stuff now,

so what i wanna ask is where did you do your work experience (if you've done it) and if it was any good? :P cheers

[Supersam]

Primary School.

Awful. The kids were bratty and I wasnt allowed to shout at them.

Just pointledd I felt. Unless you have a really good boss or person who manages you then you will find you get given jobs that are pointless and have nothing to do with the job itself.

But that was just me!

We are arranging to do Work Exp. at Cranfield ATC for meee xD We emailed them and they just need the dates etc and we can sort it out :D

kids will do anything to try and be rebellious, especially if they find out you're a student yourself.

[Hazza]

I'm actually on mine now and I love it. I hate school and work is sooo much better.
I decided to do it with a Drama Group outside of school, which I also go to, so I know the teacher pretty well - I've been making tickets for our show soonish and helping out at the lessons. Its pretty decent but decide carefully what you do cause' half my mates hate what they chose to do!

I did mine at a gaming internet cafe, called Gamer Heaven.

It's quite local to me.

Was awesome, believe it or not, we didn't just sit there and play games... XD

we had to make a table (me and 2 mates), and make 6 wheely chairs.

[CHA!NGANG]

I am doing it in two months. I think I am doing it at a law firm, but, TBH, I haven't actually been told what I am doing by my school yet. I wouldn't mind a school. That would be intresting. A Police station would be even better :D

[mantora]

Start with something small. Also i dont know how smart you are. the like smart people but the dislike the ******s :O

[Toughened]

I doing mine mid June.

I'm going to Envy (Clothes shop if you didn't know).

If they like you and have job spaces you can get a job offer at the end of it.

[mangle]

[wrestle]

I did mine at a leisure centre, it was seriously boring.

[CHA!NGANG]

Sort of.. You pick the secter you want to be placed in and my school trys it's best to help. I do it through my school because they have a safety scheme and offer insurance, so it's less hastle :) Also, I don't expect it to be fun as such, just... to be honest, it will be good on your CV, and that is why I am doing it.

[JackBuddy]

I did mine at this graphic design/ printing company, was gut.
Oh, and if a company called trident is organising it for you... expect the worst, they **** so many people around.

[brandon]

I'm doing mine at September, just got the forms like you.

[drama]

[Instrumentals.]

moved to another office full of hot girls :D

haha, mine was good, no fit girls though, but once i left school i joined the police anyway and still do, so mine was for the right purpose =]

[leah]

A craft shop..:8

[Toughened]

You don't get to pick? :OWe did.
What our school done was put a list of the jobs available on a board, it had job title, number etc. We then filled it in, said why we were the best person for the job (incase more the one person applied) and then she would pick the best application.
Those who don't do that get what they're given.
I think that's fair


Im 14 now, soon to be 15, I don't think they would offer me a job haha.You're aloud to work in some shops at 15.
They just tend not to let people because its alot more complicated with insurance and stuff.

[Swearwolf]

mine was a few years ago, i was an electrician
