I'm into media etc and I just got the dates today. I'm going to apply to RTE, TV3, East Coast FM etc etc.

Duno if I stand a chance at getting in but its worth a shot.

I didn't do a conventional Work Experience...travelled 2 1/2 hours every morning to Wickla everymorning from Northside of Dublin to stand around doing nothing in a garage halfway up the Sugarloaf - Good times

Mates did theirs at Tower Records, Waltons, and Gamestop - basically any shops will take you on provided you give them notice and don't expect to get paid

Conor108 · 05-09-2007, 16:35

Hmm getting a little bit desperate now, I need to have my form in on the 21st (W/Es not til the 15th)

Emailed Ionet, Microsoft, Google with no joy. I'll email Dell now and can yuo do w/e at Trinity?

Any ideas on where to go for work exp if interested in medicine??

Applied to a few old folks' homes, none have replied bar one to tell me they couldn't take me.
Am thinkin the health board centre but I dunno if they'd take me.
Our school seems to have insurance problems with hospitals so can't go there.
Really stuck tbh! Any ideas would be great..

Like a pharmacy is more of a shop like.. And I dunno if I'd be allowed handle prescriptions..
It's worth a try though.

I should start looking for work experience soon, we have to have forms handed back to co-ordanators by First week in October.

Anyone advise how I may obtain it? Sending a CV to a few places? Or calling into them?

**garthv** · 06-09-2007, 16:54

Best job would be to call the places you want to work,

Sending in a CV would make them think you want a full-time job, not just work experience!

*challengemaster* · 06-09-2007, 16:58

this really is a piece of piss to do. simply phone up the place in question (you dont need a CV.. jesus, its for work experience, not to employ you full time

)

just phone up the place where you'd like to go, ask to speak with whoever is in charge/high up and ask are they taking people on for work experience. if so, ask would they mind if they took you on if they have space. most places wont say no because they wont get a good rep then.

The best thing would be to email them, ring them up or call in and talk to them face to face. Just sound really interested in whatever the company does.

qwertplaywert · 07-09-2007, 20:58

And of course present yourself well if asking in person

Conor108 · 15-09-2007, 14:36

Don't email - call in. Looking for the Work Experience position is part of the learning process - you're not supposed to do it by email from home.
It's very easy say no to an email request, not so easy if you have a chirpy teenage face in front of you.
