What did you do for Work Experience
I havent done any yet, but I am planning to soon. I am really hoping to get some at Vet's.
I went to a Funeral Directors, it was great, the best week of my life
I was a primary school teacher for a week. Half the time, I was an aide for a year 6 class and the rest of the time was divided between random playground duty and telling kids what was 'cool' in high school
Had fun then
I worked in an office in London for a week. I had to change drawings and size pipes, etc. for an office block. Work was fun, journey wasn't. (two and a half hours on a train either way there!)
Yes. It was a rewarding experience. Back in my day though, Charizard was an awesome card to have in a deck. Kids these days.. Psh. Rainbow energy my butt.Quote:

You don't know how horrible is to put them work at the class of history, they don't want to do anything!
Glad taht englishes classes are better!
I picked up deacesed people from Gatwick Airport, went to many cremations and one burial
What kind of job are you trying to get by working in a funeral home?
i'd like to work with a forensic Psychiatrist. i'd be in heaven.
and yes that does sound a little wierd.
Er a funeral director maybeQuote:

sorry, I'm having a bad day today,no-one talking to me
Well, I just fell out with most of my friends over another forum, so I don't feel great, either.
I haven't had any work experience. O_o; That's really sad to admit. Heh. I'm looking to work a full time job until October though then move then look again for a full time job. ^_^- If I could get in to a secretary position or a receptionist I'd be in my enviroment. I type fast and am a neat freak and love to file and organize. Whee. When I get up to Michigan I'll look for a service system that puts you at different office positions needed in various companies and from there I'll find my way in.
Considering I prank called a few people on New Year's Eve claiming to be Steve the Funeral Director (now my infamous alter-ego to my offline friends), I really should have tried to do it at a Funeral Director's.Quote:

Edit: However, I did apply at WHSmiths and GAME. GAME couldn't legally take me, because they sold 18 games, understandable. WHSmiths didn't really care. I would have done it at Ottakers, but by the time I had that bright idea, it was too late to sort something out. I intend to see if Ottakers has any jobs for next Summer though, when I've done my GCSEs.
GCSE's suck, okay they get you a job but they are just annoying
i worked in the local brewery in the office ordering the cans and ingredients, they nearly got rid of me when i accidently ordered £100,000 worth of cans that were not needed. Luckly they managed to stop the order. it was fun but they went to the pub every lunch time and i being 14 at the time wasn't allowed to go :shame: .
A firend of mind got the mick taken out of him for his work experiance. He was in a DIY shop and they sent him off to get some tartan paint, he spent an hour looking for it.
I have done two work experience duties. one was working in a trendy clothes store, which was boring and dull. the second time wasin an office which was soo bad it almost killed me (sarcasm)
I worked in a store that sold Army equipment (IE - tents, knives and rucksacks). It wasn't all that bad, I guess. A few years later, I designed the Information Technology section of my College's website. I'd finished the site in a day, so I messed around learning Flash for the rest of the two weeks.
Not a very good job. You'd want A levels or a degree for that.Quote:

I worked in a primary school. It was fairly easy, and that was all I was really looking for in my work experience. It was rather interesting seeing education from a different perspective, though.
I'm confused - it seems your Work Experience here is only for a week? We had work experience in our highschool for a semester, and I got most of mine over the summers...
I live in the UK, so its only a weekQuote:
