I'm 14 and I've just finished my Junior Cert in Ireland (which is the equivalent to the GCSE in the UK... I think) and next year I'll be entering TY, meaning I have my work experience. I'm applying at a coroner's office (person who inspects victims of unexplained deaths etc) and I'm having a bit of trouble about what my hobbies and interests would relate to being a coroner. :S

- Should I mention I try and educate myself about the human anatomy at home and watch autopsies for educational purposes or is that too "creepy"?

- Should I also mention I've taken Science (biology and chemistry) to further my knowledge about the human body?

- I don't know what kind of skills are needed for this job. I could mention that I can touch type and have a typing speed of 120 WPM which would help around any office tasks assigned to me if needed.

So any other suggestions any one else could think of? :3

i'd just say that ur computer literate instead of banging on about stuff like wpm.
what qualities do u think are valuable for working as a coroner? stuff like attention to detail maybe.

I absolutely agree with this, instead of saying WPM. I don't know about your first point I agree it may be a little different? Just my opinion remember.

Didn't realize you guys replied. x] I've already sent in my letter but I left out the WPM and the autopsies bit (although many people said to put it in lol :S) and just said I try my best to educate myself by familiarizing with medical/scientific terms at school and at home.
