Well I've just come back from my Work Experience placement (basically I work for a week somewhere without pay, just for the learning experience) and it was great. The guys in the computer repair shop where I'm working at are very chilled out and relaxed and take Mondays easy and only do a half-day Tuesday. We sat and did some work on a couple of Hard Drives while in between times watching movies and eating an Indian takeaway.
Best work placement ever.
Hey, maybe we could exchange? I'll go to your work and you'll go to mine. What do you say? :P
No deal!
Thought so... :'(
Sounds sweet bro
Anyways, I'm gonna be doing a couple of PC restorations this week, so it should be awesome.
good, get that experience so you dont have to pay the ridiculous prices for pre-built
Aye, hopefully :P
I'm going to tag along one day, lul
I remember I was placed at a Food Lab, where they'd test foods from Iceland, Tesco, etc for ecoli, etc.
We were sent a strawberry cake before, and it was covered in ants, even though it was still in the packaging.
Anywhoo, n1 on the good placement, I know a lot of people who get shit placements...
Can you choose where you want Work Experience Laz?
I dunno when mine is but... i dont wanna work in a supermarket or someshit.
you can usually, but sometimes the placement gets filled quickly and you have to go elsewhere
LMFAO I did my work experience as a caretaker, got told to go and hide for the day, and that was almost everyday, ofcourse that meant go for a smoke.
If you have a careers advisor in your school ask them if you can just follow a teacher or some shit.Quote:

No takeaway today, I finished at 12pm. Instead I had a KFC ^_^
Pretty easy day, did a virus scan on someone's laptop, backed up about 1.5GB of data and formated someone's PC.
Where's the hot MILF customer that wants you to take a look at your hardware? movies don't lie.
None yet :P
Some fat woman came in today complaining about how the power pack on her kid's Nintendo DS was broke and she needed it for next week. Costs
