Work Experience

Have you ever done this? Where did you go? Was it fun/worthwhile?
I'm on work exp. at the minute, I'm working at an infant school with one of the reception class and I love them :D They're little angels :p The staff are nice too, I was nervous this morning about a week at work exp. but I'm fine now! If you people did go on work exp. did you enjoy it? :

I did mine in a magistrate's court where I got to spend all day sitting in on cases. About 50% of them were drunk driving cases.

If you mean like, through school a Work Co-Op placement.

I held a secretarial position with the nurses in an In Patient Psychiatric Ward. Nothing better than crazy people to make you feel normal.

Went to a Genomics department in a university. Was pretty cool, and they strangely did alot of the stuff I subsequently studied at A-level, so that made it easier. What was quite worrying however was the fact that if there was a fire in the building, there was some legal thing where the fire brigade weren't allowed to come and put it out because of the chemicals stored in the place :( .

I did work experience in a dobbies garden centre, it was a great doss! me and the other work exp kids just painted the garden decks with woodstainer chatting and messin about. And i got to make pretty flower displays :D

i went to britain pit farm petting farm :-/ it was aweful
a small child said to me whilst i was cleaning out the 20th rabbit hutch
"you have to best job in the world"
oh how i wanted to put his child in the manture heap *dies*
it rained the first day and they had nothing for me to do. so i sat and cried all day sitting in aroom sull of dead stickinsects :-/
the ONLY good thing was a hot guy chatted me up (i was only 15!!) and there were 2 llamas.
i love llamas :love:

Yeah, my first work experience I went to a pre-school. Most the kids were really sweet, although I didn't want to work with them in the long run. I kinda just went there to slack off xD

After that I went to a place and I was SUPPOSED to be on computer but instead I put things in envelopes >_< Sooo boring.

Little miss awesome which school? westoe crown?

I've never done an organized "work experience" thing, but I do have to do an internship soon. ;_;

I never done work experience. I'm not missing out on that much though.

I did mine a while back actually...
I was lucky enough to get into British Airways ^^ It was great!
We got to see all the different areas of looking after a commercial airline. It was very interesting, and alot more fun than ordinary school XD
Definately worthwhile :3.

I didn't do work experience. And because of that I had to show around the little primary school kids who came to visit the school.

I'm on Work experience at the moment.
I didn't have a clue where I wanted to do it at first, so I ended up just getting it in a clothes shop where I go frequently, as the person who owns it is friendly.

Its okay, but I wish I had done it in an office or something now, as thats probably where I'll be working when I leave school.

I should be at work now, but my boss let me leave an hour early because hes really nice. Plus I get clothes for trade price. :love:

Only complaint that I have about it is that I have to work Saturdays, and I've got to do it for two weeks. Plus, the fact I've had other jobs, and I'm used to getting paid for them. :rolleyes2
