What did you do for your work experience?

[Apple]

In year 10/11 for your work experience; what did you do?

I had to work the the council, repairing parks and clearing vandalism etc. It was ok being out and about all the time, and I got on with the other workers which made it more fun.

[Jessie]

I went to a vets, I cleaned out animal cages, watched operations and injected a dog?
Oh and made tea and cleaned towels and stuff like that. I really enjoyed it as it's what I aspire to do when im older (:

[Special]

in this little ****** shop i hated it totally (so much so i've never been in the shop since)

[myke]

i worked at airport operationsss. loved it. :)

[Deak]

I worked in an office as a trainee admin / IT worker. I had to type letters up, sort files and folders out & any other little jobs which needed doing.

[Nicola]

I worked in a place called Stockdales which is a home for adults and children that have learning disablities. I had to take them out for walks, cook with them, do art classes with them, read with them, do dance classes with them and I also got to go to a Hydrotherapy session with one of the residents which was really quite amazing. It was a bit of an emotional experience at times but I absolutely loved working with them.

[Richie]

butchers + chocolate factory + dublin city fm (still there)

[Nemo]

Worked at MJP (Architects office). Most days i was using a program to make 3d images of various different buildings/layouts, and then my main 'project' was making a 3d model (on the pc) of a building they were actually making, to scale.

It was fun making the furniture n stuff, slightly tedious at times but fun nevertheless

[Jamesy]

I worked at the printing firm my dad works at. I either had to do heavy duty man filing in the loft, or I was working in the bit where they translated the images sent by the company into plates that would be used in the machines. They even let me make my own, the printed it so I have a big roll of film next to my wardrobe with my own design on it:

Worked in all the departments, it was proper tiring :(

[RandomManJay]

I was gonna do it at Sellafield, but I wasn't able to do it cause it was on high alert with the 7/7 bombings and all that. I pretty much did nothing for the whole week :S, and when we asked the teacher who sorted out the schools work experience to help us sort it out for next year, he told us we had to do it ourselves, as though it was our fault we couldn't do it that year :@.

[Samantha]

I went to a school.
I thought I would have been looking after year 2's or year 1's. They stuck me with nursery kids -.-!

[Muppet]

I worked at a local amusement park, Wicksteed Park.
Worked in stores, set up for some functions, stole ice-cream from the stockroom, and dressed up as two of the park mascots (not that I was supposed to..)

[Meanies]

I went to halfords and passes about for 2 weeks and made a fair amount of bikes too

[cocaine]

worked in john lewis

[dbgtz]

Well
first 2 working days: had to stay at school cos my work experience kept getting screwed up!

next 7 working days: worked at a crappy job agency called "tate", stole a **** load of mints and pens, sorted out their whole filing system which felt quite rewarding cos it was a **** hole. First day though I shredded with a shredder that kept breaking down and on the last day I worked there I shredded paper too, which was from sorting the files out.

last working day: i was ill, those offices were insufferable, constantly stuffy and I probably either shouldn't have bought sandwiches from poundland or inhaled too much of the papers dust.

[luce]

year 10 i did it at the governement law offices in guernsey where i live and i will probs go to a primary school this year or something like that

[Nikki]

Year 10 went to nursery where my little sister goes, I did nothing all week, i wasn't allowed to feed, hold or do anything with the children not even my own sister. So pointless.

year 11 went to work with my dad who is a lawyer, I basically sat in different court rooms by myself, I enjoyed listening to all the different crimes but I didn't learn anything from it

[Minstrels]

I worked in some business thing, had the majority of it off because I wasn't allowed in the meetings with the big boss dudes because they were big deals but the smaller deals I'd go in and see how things went, it was alright. Went all over the place, London, Liverpool, Newcastle etc. Met Emile Heskey.

[Jessica.Rose]

I worked as a teacher ... it was so hard because the kids were lil buggers and wouldnt stop swearing lol

[Oleh]

You should have smacked them.. you was young enough :)

I was a caretaker at school.. Pretty much the best job ive ever done all we did was sweep, carry heavy things (i like that for some reason), litter pick and sit down also do general things like wind the clock up, check electric box (huge thing size of a store room), empty bins, carry wheely bins up stairs to empty it and open gates :) then sat down every 5 minutes

[Dean]

This was some long time ago, but I worked at learn direct where I just answered the phone, talked to learners and supervised. Also had to carry about 15 computers up about 100 stairs. '-.- (one at a time)
