Done it 3 times in the last 2 years. ...I had one two weeks ago in a solicitors office, that I really wasn't looking forward to, but I loved it and I ended up getting paid! Han/ITFC Dudette, did one recently in a school too, so ask her

I did my work experience at the office where my Dad works, it was awful. I really don't envy his secretaries.. His office was a mess and I had to clear and file most of the papers lying around.. It was cool that we got to go to court though, only to drop off/pick up legal papers mind.
It's a good insight into the working world and all it said to me was.. Just be glad you're a long way off this!

I did my Work experince in April at a bank and a paper. What I realised was that although the work might be shit, it is the people that make a job.

I worked for the National Trust, four years ago. Dreadful. Hated it.

I worked in the education centre at the local out of town forest I got put there, but it turned out to be pretty cool, just helped look after the kids who were on school trips

Last year I did work experience at a photography studio. It was brilliant! I got to go out with the photographers and photograph things myself! One of them being in 'The Light' in Leeds. There was a big function on and the Lord Mayor of Leeds were there. The man I was with gave me this snazzy camera and told me to start taking photos. He gave me lots of advice, which was cool.
Also, in January, I did a 6 week placement doing stage management at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and worked on Macbeth. That was amazing.
I agree with whomever said it's the people that make the job. I met some wonderful people on my placements.

Yeah have to echo the sentiments about the people making the work experience. I had to do 2 work experiences for my course. The first was in a learning disability home, which all the staff were great and funny.I am now full time there.
Whereas in the nursery setting..well lets just say shit shall we.
