I'm on a month-long Work Experience placement and will be based at Riverside and Bensham, getting a feel for what it's like to work in different departments 'behind the scenes', which I wouldn't usually get to see as a customer.
As I've already had seven weeks off school and had no luck in finding a paid job, I thought I'd be mad not to try and go for a work experience placement in an industry that I have an interest in. I think it'll look great on my CV, and hopefully help out for jobs in the future too. It'll also get me back into a routine which I need before September, as it's always hell going back to school after the summer holidays.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it - do you plan to become a driver or anything?
