Work Experience

Mystic Fibrosis

Yay!! I am in Transition Year!!!!!!
So, I was wondering: What is everybody planning to do/ done for work experience??

me, I have no idea. But Im planning to look into working in Forbidden Planet/ Sub City

Forbidden planet is so fun to work in. I know I told you already but it really is super cool. While working there i realised that I when I grow up I don't want to have a "good job" I want an easy job, with low stress where I can talk to people and read comics.
The Irish Times is a cool place to go if you don't want to do any real work. You go in at 10:30am, you're out by 3:00pm and you get two hours for lunch. And one day they paid for us to go see a movie because they couldn't think of anything else for us to do.


Damn I miss fourth year

I'll probably go the lazy way and ask for a job in the local primary school which is beside my school.........I really should try and get a job in a pharmacutical (?) company..........but thats 20 minutes away........no way I'm going to arklow every morning!

Okay, I live in Sligo, we have nothin' but credit unions, gift shops and newsagents... To hell with them...

I wanna try and get work experience out of the country, now that would be cool! I have loads of relatives in London so I'm trying to convince mother dearest that letting me go to work in England for three weeks at various times over the next 8 months or so is a good idea... it's not going well. Apart from that I'd love to work in a solicitors office or, for some odd reason, in Lemon... working in Lemon would be pretty damn sexual.

Yeah, i'm tring to convince my parentals letting me go to stay with my relatives n Maine is a good idea....

i did some of my work experience in a computer company called ICL. i rewired half the building, only to find out that a month after my work experience they were moving site

but it was cool because i finished the days work before lunch, so i spent the rest of the day in either waltons or musician, cos my friends were working there. very many free plectrums

Man U babe

Gahhhh! TY is so crap! Get out of it (if you can).
Umkay, back on topic. I did work experience in a primary school and did sweet f-all for 2 weeks. Twas a larf but it put me off screaming 6year olds for life. My best memory of TY, tho, involves chasing my chemistry and physics teachers down a mountain in Delphi with large quantities of sweet goopy muck. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

Tis great these mornings, bummin round doing absolutely nothing. And I have 2 and a bit weeks of sweet nothingness left cos UCD starts 16th sept.:p So fneh. Enjoy school these 2 weeks.

words of advice.
do your work experience at someplace where all you have to do is stand at a till.
your feet won't hurt, and remember, bosses can be bastards and they don't even have to pay you for work experience, and can easily work you like a dog doing all the **** stuff if they feel like it.

Right, I think I've made my choices:

For the first week in November, Forbidden Planet (ill try sub city first 'cause I LOVE that place)

The 2 weeks in Feburary, well, my cousins both work for an electronics company( theyre both Electronic Engineers) so Ill ask them if they can help me out with getting a job over there.
