Work Experience

[Inseriousity.]

I worked in my secondary school for a week. Yeah not really inspiring place but it was easy to get to (I go there everyday), I know the people (I go there everyday) and.... I managed to get an extension on my coursework when no-one else did because "of all that work you did during your week experience." Result. :8

I do actually wanna become a teacher though so it's okay.

Good luck anyway!

I have work experience soon (April ) and I contacted IBM for work experience. They seemed happy to do it, but I was given a place in offices four hours away, so I can't do it, but they seem good

I hated mine. But my friend went to Boots and he thought it was really good

I would reccomend Boots

I want to do a placement at the BBC Studios, but it's just that there are no placements in the West Midlands, which really sucks, everything's in London..
Do something exciting and fun if you're not sure what you want to do when you're older,

I'd want to go to Lionhead studios, all you do is test games all day But too far and it's full. It's the p take living 1 hour from London, (the Lionhead studios in guildford so don't be stoopido).
I'm going somewhere crap.

I wouldnt really say to work in any kind of shop as everyone I know that worked in shops had to do all the heavy and most boring work. You're free labour they will work you so hard.

Work experience doesnt 'really' influence anything but try and make sure that you do it somewere good that will look fab on your CV. I want to go into architecture so instread of working at local architects offices I went to my council and went into the planning department where architects plans etc are submitted. It gave me a look on the other side of things and I had a real blast really, got to go to some pretty exciting places in my local area which I would never prevsiously known about. But there was a boring side which was speadsheets etc. 2 years after my work experience I still talk to some people who have the exact spreadsheet of which I made that they got from meetings at the council -giggle. So ye, try and think of what you want to do, flip the coin and look at going somewere into the other side of things.
