My Work Experience.

introduction:

When i first heard that we had to do work experience i thought it was a good opportunity to see what it was like to work in a proper working environment. I was told that i would have to work for a week in one of the listed jobs that the borough of Broxbourne had chosen or we could pick our own job and just tell the school the details so they could check that it was a safe working environment.

I chose to work with my dad in an office helping him with his job as the supervising manager  because i thought it would be relevant to what I'm going to be doing in the near future so its best i learn sum skills now , so that I'm ready for "the working world" in the future when I’ve finished all my studies at school ,college , or university.

The first thing i had to do was get the information for the slip to hand into school , as soon as i got the slip off the school i came home and got my dad to fill in all the details of the company and workplace. My dad was glad that he could show me what to do , so that i wasn't just messing about and I actually got sum experience of what it would be like to be in the work place to prepare me. I was looking forward to the week ahead to learn new skills and just see what it felt like to be in a proper working environment.

first day:


My first day was probably the hardest day i had to do of work experience because I wasn’t use to all the work there was to do, plus I had to get up at 5.30 am! I was so tired that I could hardly walk , but I had to get ready so that I could go to work.
