Mark W Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 For my first work experience I worked for two weeks in a recording studio and mixed an album. For my second work experience I was at SuperCycles, but I had to do a case study on Onza's business techniques, Onza themselves, and just everything about them. Was well good, they're a super cool company :( Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Try and find somewhere new. Work experience is to find out other possible careers rather than bikes. If you want to enjoy it loads go to a bike shop but if you want to gain experience somewhere else don't go to a bike shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT~DAN Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 i do enjoy working with bikes but i was told by my tutor and head of year that it makes no effect on jobs in the future apparently (which i think is stupid really) Dan anyone ?

Mark W Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Tell your tutor guy: "Mark Westlake says your a tit." Universities are starting to place a huge emphasis on work placements now. Because more and more people are doing more and more A-levels, it's one of those things that seperates the wheat from the chaff in the uni's eyes. Equally, employers will look to what you've done. If you're going into a competitive market like journalism, any hands-on experience (Such as work experience at a newspaper, etc.) would be hugely advantageous. If you've got 2 candidates, one who worked at a local newspaper and one who worked at their Dad's garage or whatever, you'd go for the local newspaper guy.
