Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?Admissions department at one of my local unis. Dad set me up, he worked in that dept for years as well as lecturing. I went to a meeting about admissions databases, entered GCSE grades for crap students onto the database & played with muppets figurines.

Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?I dunno, it just didn't feel like the kinda job I wanted to do. There was a lot of paperwork and red tape. Plus the hours were really long.(Original post by hbk4894)

Listening back to tape recordings was kinda interesting actually. -

Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?I did 2 weeks at Cadbury chocolate factory IN their own little dental practice (ironic really)
It was sooo boring. I realised I didn't want to become a dentist after :P
But I took full advantage of the unwanted chocolates which were sold in bag loads for £1

Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?In Year 10 I did 2 weeks at Waterstones. I think I might end up doing some more work experience in my schools Maths Department on the work experience week as I want to teach, and health complications mean it's probably a good idea to not take on anything too strenuous!

Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?Strangely, I worked at a different secondary school from my own. I did the audio engineering for the school's production of "The Wizard of Oz". It was arranged a bit last minute, but it was one of the best weeks I've ever had!

Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?I did my week's work experience in a primary school where my mum works as a teacher, but not in her class. At the time, I wanted to be a primary teacher and it was great experience.

Re: Where did you work for work experience whilst at Secondary school?I worked in an old people's home for a week.
When they were awake, they were funny ( but they weren't awake much ;D)
I spent most of my time watching telly, but I did go for a walk with one of the resident's and a carer everyday.
Played bingo, and one old man taught me to play dominoes!!!!
