Is everyone elses work experience like this?

[dannyisnotamazing]

we do it every term in yr 10 & 11. once every thursday 12:30 till whatever time the job finishes. most people[including me] just go home though, it's easier lol. then once the term has done, you find a new placement for the following term.

done it in April time.
We could only choose from a list of given places, and it was first come first serve.
I got landed with primary school pe teacher !!!!!!!1

Worst two weeks of my life rofl. I got free carrots .

One week in Year Ten - you get to choose where you go. Your work experience sounds like something people would follow if they planned to follow a less academic and more vocational career.

Now, I don't know if this is how Work Experience is for other schools, seeing as i've never been to one, but my school is different to like... every other school in the world (only 3 periods a day, finish at 1.30 on some days, every student has their own laptop).



Basically, every Friday for two years, at five different places.

you got to chafford

nope. mine was where you work at a place for 2 weeks with no pay, and thats it.

you apply for the place through the careers guy at our school and he contacts the place for you etc. i just had 2 weeks in morrisons :eusa_danc

oh, i've jsut read that quote you put and i did work experience last year, so it probably changed for you, well im glad i only had to do it for 2 weeks and not 2 years every week

I had 2weeks in morrisons too and it was bollox. I was with a friend though and we just went home at dinner because no-one cared rofl.

I only got one week on work experience

To people moaning about doing it, it helps. On your CV it will count as a Ref.

I did mine in july, it was only meant to be for a week but i did it for 3weeks lol, i did for the last 3 weeks of term, only went in on the last day for a hour to get my stuff Everyoen else did 1week and i got paid for 2weeks Its really good tho cause it shows my determination for my cv and going for college places and that. You MUST have it and keep it to almost defo get a place.
