Work Experience Work experience. The first time those words were mentioned I felt a cold shiver slowly descend down my back. Images of spending a week with unknown people in dead-end jobs flooded into my head. It was obviously going to be far too much effort for what it was worth. Yet, another side of me said do I want to be watching paint dry, or even watching grass grow.’ This is not where I want to be. I want to be out, I want to be experiencing, living, running, jumping, eating, playing, screaming, laughing, anything. I had to apply to a company for a two week placement, and this had to be done through proper procedures, so I had to make sure my curriculum vitae was up to date and well presented. I first began to think what type of work experience would I most enjoy and benefit from. I thought I would like to work in a computer related placement since I am doing IT as a GCSE and I have a keen interest in it. I went along to the careers office and talked to the careers teacher but he didn’t quite have what I wanted so I went home and done some research on the internet and found a contact number and e-mail, I phoned the number and asked about any work experience opportunities and they said the best thing was to e-mail my queries to a certain e-mail address. I e-mailed this person and they replied wanting to know what was the exact specification of this work experience. After several e-mails, they told me to send my CV along with a letter of application and so I did. A few weeks later I received a e-mail saying they do not do work experience for GCSE students, but added by saying they were planning to launch such opportunities... ... middle of paper ... ...ing and informative week, I enjoyed every part of it as most of the tasks I comprehended them as challenging. I was made to feel extremely welcome by all of the members of the staff. I found the week very informative because I found out that it is definitely the sort of business I would like to do when I leave school/university. By taking up this work, it had made me feel differently about my career plan as how crucial it really is before this work experience. When I look back at my work experience in about five years time I would like to think of it as “It was worth every penny”. Also how a great deal it was influential in playing a crucial part in my life when I reflect back! I walked to the train station feeling satisfied with myself. I arrived home feeling rather cheerful and surprisingly looking forward to school.

Work experience is it of value or is it a waste of time? This is a
The Value of Work Experience A summer or part-time job pays more than money. Even though the money earned is important, the work experience gained has a greater long-term value when one applies for a full-time job after graduation from school. Job application documents (the application blank and the personal data sheet) ask you to list jobs you have held and to list as references the names of individuals who supervised your work.

Work experience and placements are becoming more common. There are work experience programmes that are “organised as part of university degree courses” (High Fliers Research Ltd., 2015). This means students are able to get work experience within their degree, and so are able to experience the working environment before they have graduated. “The number of work experience places available to students and recent graduates has now jumped by more than 40% since 2010” (High Fliers Research Ltd., 2015). This shows that the availability of work experience places are increasing and are being given more importance by employers. As work experience is becoming more common, it is important to consider what the benefits are and how it helps your future career. This essay will argue that work experience is

The introduction to placements session was very helpful in outlining why it is critical that I take up the opportunity to do a professional placement to not only increase my chances of getting a professional level job after graduating but also because it will give me valuable experience and a chance to try out a certain field that I am interested in to see if it is for me which could be one of the most important aspects I think. It also showed me that I really had to think about my skills and why I would be a good candidate for a particular job because this is often asked in interviews and applications. I have my career development portfolio from first year, which helped me think about the skills I possess and how they are useful so I can
My last seven and a half months have consisted carrying out the work placement element of my college curriculum in Fexco offices in Killorglin. I was placed into the Finance department to coincide with my degree major of accounting and finance where I undertook a various amount of relevant tasks and projects. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working in Fexco and I gained a vast understanding of how the company is run and organized. I felt as though every day was a learning experience and a chance to develop a further understanding of what the working world consists of. I was allowed to experience different roles within the finance department in an attempt for me to discover which one I enjoyed to most. Prior to my work experience I was very unsure
