    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.

    Anyway, I was meant to be doing work experience last week, but I didn't. Go me.

    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 would love to be happy, but unfortunately I'm too busy being awesome and kicking your ass at everything

    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.
    Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

    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.

    Anyway, I worked at a Magistrate's Court. It was boring really.

    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...
