Heya

Before
Set some personal objectives for the period of employment before starting your placement. Ask yourself what you want to get out of it - what is it you want to learn about? The company, the industry, or both?
Find out the dress code - don’t be afraid to phone and check in advance. You’ll be uncomfortable in a suit if everyone is more casual and even more so if it’s the other way around!
During
Don’t be afraid to ask questions and take notes when being briefed by your boss at the outset - better to ask outright and be clear than make mistakes later;
Keep a note of challenges you overcome each day and any problem solving required this demonstrates initiative and prioritising skills, and is something to take away no matter what happens;
Grab any chance to take on more responsibility and undertake new tasks - a sure way of developing new talents;
Do the best job you possibly can - for self-satisfaction and the possibility of being asked back at Easter and summer breaks, and maybe even that permanent position in the future;
Ask for feedback from your employer and the people you work with - there may be room for improvement, plus successes and achievements are what you need to put on your CV;
Make suggestions - just because you’re a work experience student, it doesn’t mean you don’t have good ideas, and your colleagues will always appreciate seeing things from a new perspective. In fact, it should be part of the reason they want you there!
Keep a diary of your thoughts throughout the placement - this will help you to add your achievements to your CV and will show you how far you’ve come;
Work hard, but take the time to get to know your colleagues and enjoy the work atmosphere - after all, you may be spending every day there for a while!
After
Ask for a reference from your employer - this will stand you in good stead for moving on to a permanent job;.
Also ask for an evaluation of your work - this will help you to understand the 'employability' skills you have started to develop.

Hope i helped good luck on your work experience
