Hi. I'm in Year 11 and i was just wondering where everyone did their work experience? I have one more week of it and dont know where to do it.

 

[~*HSC 4 life*~]

I went to the United Dental Hospital in Surry Hills..it was mad coz i am interested in dentisty. All we did really was go to the different departments such as childrens dentistry, orthodontics, perodontics etc etc and watch/ask questions...they'd always give us early breaks and long lunches heheh and you only need to phone in, they very willingly said yes!

1) at a clothes store

and 2) at my school ( lame i know, but hey i had fun)

i went to an architect's office in sydney. at the time i wanted to be one but all they seem to do is sit themselves in front of computers and draw lines. it was so damn boring. i vowed never to be an architect after that experience.

At Qantas i was doing customer service in the domestic terminal, it actually turned out to be really good insight on how the airport works. I had a pretty cool supervisor who took me to every part of the airport where i was allowed to. It was heaps cool, and i actually know how to check people in

I went to Wests tigers during the off season so it wasnt that crash hot, but they had to organise for the upcoming season, i was working with marketing and pr, it was ok i guess. They were updating the database so i did data entry for most of it but eh, what can u do...

I recommend Qantas, even though its not that easy to get into. Maybe a footy team would be better during the footy season.

lucky bum i wanted to do something in the airport, but was kinda late and ended up at a chemist which was really boring, tho i ended up getting a nice (and boring) job.

I did my work exp. at Coca Cola.
It was pretty awesome, but i dont think they take any work exp people. I only got in cause my brother worked at the head office at the time.

I visited all around the place, including the headoffice, the warehouses, the Coke factory which was pretty cool, and spent a day with a sales dude in his red coke camry. I didnt have to actually do any real work. it was more experience and seeing what people do, which was cool. I got to drive a loaded forklift however... and i crashed it against a wall.. lol .. kinda hard to control. but fun.
