So they do it in England as well, nice. I did my work experience week in September like 2 years ago. For those who do not know what a work experience week is I'll explain it as clearly as I possibly can.
First of all, I'm talking about that from Scotland's point of view!
Okay, so work experience is mandatory in school. You get to choose your work place, well the type of business that you're really interested in. Like, if you want to be a football assistant you'll obviously go for something to do with being a football assistant. In Edinburgh we have quite awful football teams so this isn't the best example nevertheless if you want be an office worker then you'll go for Council or Job Centres etc. So, you get a piece of paper with all the details regarding that 'job'. It will state when you have to come to work and when you'll be allowed to leave, what uniform you have to wear (if any) and when are your breaks etc. For me it was a week but for Terrabon it's 10 days. My work experience was working in Blackwells Bookshop. You may try and guess by saying that I'm either interested in books or simply like to work on tills. Well, it's neither of them. I was simply too late so that was left haha. I found it quite fun and amazing to be honest, you got told about my books and their places on shelves. Also helping customers and redirecting them was a cool thing to learn as well.
Making it too long! Hopefully you'll enjoy your week (10 days)
