Work Experience

[MadGamer]

Well, im off for the interview at Epping Forest College tommorow and i hope all goes well with that. Im going to be working in the IT department as computers are of my most interest and i know alot about them. Have to be there for 10:00am, and of course i know what sort of questions to ask such as:

1) What to wear
2) What the working hours are.
3) What sort of work will i be doing etc.

I actually start this Monday coming so that will be something to look forward to.

hmm - an interview tomorrow, but you start on Monday, it sounds more like an induction

re the questions, dress code is a good one, - working hours you only need to know when you start in the morning, don't give the impression you want to be off 'on the dot', everyday, I mean

- as for what you will be doing, let them show you, don't try to be, too clever, too soon

- and like Kits said - have fun

i remember my work experience, working at a big chemical engineer's near to me. i was in the health and safety department and on the first day they had an industrial accident that shut one entire plant down and got them into a bit of bother. of course me shadowing the health and safety manager means i had to go investigate it etc

i ended up with abuot £500 worth of safety gear that i "forgot" to return at the end of the fortnight too, oops

and then work shadowing at college, was at some company that built and installed computers for a living. you'd be amazed how boring building computers gets after a week... england lost a vital world cup match when i was there though so we spent one day all ****ed out of our heads and very angry
