Work Experience Treatment

    My first day of work experience:

    Me: "Hi, I'm here for work experience".
    What everyone heard: "Hi, I'm here to do the worst aspects of all your jobs for a week while you treat me like a two year old".

    Was it the same for everyone or am I the only one? Please share your experiences.

    Today I got told that to distinguish between a coke and a diet coke I had to look at the labels.

    Oh does this bring back memories..

    I really enjoyed mine (I missed it, I actually missed working for free!). At no stage should you be treated like a two year old. That's just lousey. Try and be friendly with the staff, obviously!

    Take some initiative and make it worth while. If you have a question askm

    They shouldn't be giving you work that is pointless. If you feel this is the case try talking with your TY coordinator and changing your work experience placement.
