MY WORK EXPERIENCE
My work experience was from the 8th July – 18th July 2002 at a surgery in Greenwich called the South Street Medical Centre. It took me about half an hour to get there from my house by bus. I started at 9 o’clock and finished at 4 o’clock.
On the first day, I was a bit nervous but outwardly calm. I felt optimistic and enthusiastic to have the opportunity to experience something new and potentially exciting. If only I had known what the world of work was really like! I went in calmly and asked the receptionist where I should go. She told me to go to the top floor to see Jackie Bowness, the secretary. I went in and we talked about what I was going to do for the two weeks. Then she took me around the medical centre and told me what the rooms were and what happened in them. Then she took me to the reception and introduced me to the staffs who were working there and she explained their duties and that I would be working with them as well as in the secretaries’s office. After looking around we went to the top floor. To start off my work she gave some letters to type. I also had to listen to the doctors on the tape and type out what they said and then confer with Jackie and then print it out. I had one hour for lunch. I could bring my own lunch or go out and buy some lunch. They had a kitchen where you can make tea or have a drink and eat. Jackie asked me if I wanted to come with her because she was going to go out and I said okay.
