Helloooo there xDDD
I know it's a bit late for talking about Work Experience but I honestly have no idea where to go right now.

SO! Any ideas for places to go for photography, arts and crafts, nail art, make-up ? > w <

Though the ISPCA isn't a charity, so, yeah, I fail.

Really

With Luke O' Neill? I wanted to do that exact work experience but couldn't get to and from the labs (from Limerick) so didn't apply in the end. Had an email all typed out and all. I then tried to get into the industrial biochem labs in UL but before I could organise anything, my Career Guidance teacher was getting all pissed with me for not having my 3rd week organised (this was mid October for work experience starting end of January, which I had 2 out of 3 weeks already organised) and told me to have a placement by the following Monday (it was a Friday) or not to go to his next class, so I ended up with a generic office placement

I haven't been on this thread in ages so I only saw your post now!! Yep, the one with Luke O'Neill! It was amazing and I would highly recommend anybody to apply. It sucks that you couldn't do it because it really was a great course...Office placements are the worst!

is it hard to get work experience in KISS MAGAZINE!?

I don't know about KISS in particular, but newspapers/magazines are always in high demand. There are a lot of would-be journalists out there. You'd want to be applying now I'd say.

I did 6 work experiences this year. They were all really good.

I did one in Trinity College in the Biochemistry and Immunology labs -- thats one I applied for myself. If you check the TCD website early enough you should get a place.

Yes, 'tis very good.

If you have a family solicitor or someone you know is a barrister get on to them, the CCoJ are worth a real look. You might be there for a high profile trial, I was there for Eamonn Lillis, YIKES.

The building itself is impressive aswell.

Also, the Four Courts is a good day out in TY, get onto your co-ordinators.

theres this website www.transitionyearhelp.com which has like companies that take students for work experience and stuff on it, it makes it much easier to find places

Hey everyone, I was just wondering, does anyone know if you are able to do work experience in the Naval Reserve? I know from a few threads here you can do it in the Air Corps, but for some reason I have a feeling the Naval Service would have more restrictions and stuff in relation to work experience.

Wouldn't know much about the Navy but you can drop them an email navypress@military.ie and they'll be happy to help you, tell them of your location when asking them. The Defence Force people are really nice.

I did another in the royal college of surgeons and that was amazing.

I did another in my old primary school, another in Cheeverstown school for disabled children and finally, I did one in the Beacon hospital. They were all really good...I would really recommend any one looking for a career in medicine to go to the Beacon. That one was really well organised because you got a taste of every area of medicine.

I did mine in a meat factory in Thurles in the labs last year cause I like science and stuff. It was great:P Did some sorting out of bacon, office jobs and also learned some stuff:] Also got paid

I guess it depends how strict it is but im just speaking from my own experiences. A college student was there at the time aswell and she was allowed to be more hands on. if it helps anyone I did learn alot about what its like to go into speech therapy.

I know you could only speak from your own experience but I don't think you should recommend people against it, they just have to be aware that they may get boring tasks.

That is completely wrong. A girl in my class got a placement with a surgeon and he had her doing stuff not even 4th year nurses in college are allowed do. I can't say where it was because she definitely shouldn't have been allowed do what she did (administer injections, etc.) but she was delighted with her placement. She did the rounds with the surgeon's interns, she swapped IV's, took blood, scrubbed in in a surgery. It was generally an amazing experience from what she said.
