Work Experience: Please Help!?

We Answered:

I did my work experience in the local shop.. It wasnt particulalry fun but I did meet a lot of new people.

You could try magazine editorial places? Several of my friends went to those sorts of places because they were less popular than accountants and that sort of place but were still reasonably interesting places.

where to go for work experience?

We Answered:

Not being a Bristollian, I couldn't answer you specifically. What I can advise you to do is to turn up to the music shops you know about (from the Yellow Pages or the Job Centre), smartly dressed and with a current CV in your hand. If you have no work history, write down your schooling history and if you have taken exams what sort of grades you have achieved. Then tell them why you are interested in working for them and - just as importantly - what you think you could bring to their shop. Do you get on well with people or are you the shy, retiring type? Can you be polite under pressure? Can you greet people with a smile and try and help them find what they want? Make an effort with your appearance and point out that you want work experience and not necessarily a full-time job, although if that's what you want you could mention that at a later date if they don't think you are so marvellous they offer you one anyway!

Work experience in the field of Biology?

We Answered:

Hi. Try ringing your local surgery to see if they will allow you to shadow the GP for a few days or maybe try working in a chemist.

Vets: what uni did you go to, any tips, how much work experience did you do beforehand, etc etc?

We Answered:

HI there... I cannot speak for myself, but my best friend who is a veterinarian worked as a vet tech before heading off to University. While in school between semesters she would also volunteer at various equine and zoological facilities. She attended Washington State University here in the USA.

Best wishes in your education and career endeavour. It's well worth it and as well rewarding.

where can a fourteen year old find work in bristol, conneicut?

Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!
