Work Experience Help

Basically, I'm a sixform student and I need a work experience placement asap. I'm struggling to find a placement so I'd like to ask, can someone please help me out and give me suggestions because I want to do my work experience somewhere I can benefit from in the future. I study Maths, Computing, Physics and Psychology at AS level, so something related to maybe programming or engineering would be helpful. Thanks:biggrin:

I did my work experience at Perkins/Caterpillar. You basically shadow an engineer around for a week :smile:. I went on there website and filled out a form.
This was around 2 years ago so don't know now

I've had friends in unrelated fields simply send out dozens of speculative cover letters and CV's to firms to try and secure some work experience.
How would you begin a really catchy work experience application? :smile:
