Year 10 Work Experience (Google?)

Hey there,
I was wondering if it is possible to do work experience at Google Offices in London? I'll be 15 during the work experience. I do Computer Science and Business for GCSE. Do you think Google has work experience open?

Thanks in advance

Hey, you may find something of relevance on the following google pages.

https://www.google.com/edu/resources/programs/index.html#!students
https://www.google.com/about/careers/students/
https://www.google.com/about/careers/locations/london/

If not, you can always phone up Google's London HQ, there's no loss in asking. Good luck.

Amazing that someone who wants to do work experience at Google can't even Google it!

Have you tried looking at the links that other TSR members sent you?
Actually if you actually google it there is no information available on the internet concerning work experience, only job opportunities. Not even a contact form or email address so don't ridicule a young person trying to further/form a career! Obviously childless, hopefully you stay that way.

If it isn't advertised, it generally doesn't exist..

Now this just isn't true at all of the job market.

If you're stuck thinking like this, then you're going to miss out on a lot of the best opportunities, while the people who are being more proactive than you in talking to the companies who they really want to work for will jump ahead of the queue.

In a lot of companies, jobs are only advertised when they don't have anybody else in mind who they think will be a good fit. If they have a job and a list of people who they already want to interview for it, they won't waste any time or money advertising it until they've exhausted those options first.

I did say 'generally' which fit in this case considering that year 10 placements at Google do not 'generally' exist.
