Work Experience

Namlub

Grrrr, rang RSVP magazine last week and got told to send them an application via email, which I did that day. Still nothing back and I need it sorted by next Monday. If it's a no that's grand but a bit of courtesy wouldn't go amiss. Got my first week in Boots and going to ask around in solicitors offices and radio stations this week.

So on second work experience..beaumont was fantastic.

SO i'm going to work in the body shop, they're not going to pay me..but do you think they'll give me free stuff? Because one of the girls in my class went to make up forever and she got like a foundation,3 eyeshadows,3 lipglosses,a blush and a concealer.

do not work in any kind of shop, pure slave labour and most of them will not pay you!!!!

No wonder you're mad if you went into it thinking you'd get paid.

Last Summer(2008) Done two weeks as a carpenter apparently (with my Dad , stayed at home) and the second 2 weeks I worked in Ford, Cookstown. Got €150 for the two weeks, and then €3500 after gettin a job for the Summer there, took the initiative on the last day and asked could I stay for the Summer =D

Loads of experience, and learned how to drive

Im currently on W.E. at an ad agency called Bonfire. Its great fun and a really enjoyable experience, but after 2 o clock, it gets boring xD

Did the Xmas shoebox appeal last week, really enjoyed that one too. There were loads of other TYs working there so thats probably one to go for

Does anyone know where you could go for pharmaceutical work experience in Dublin? Preferably R&D, not a community chemist?:)

Try emailing the appropriate schools in universities for pharmaceutical R&D.

Im looking for work experience for the first week in feb, want to do something like media,
tried emailin places and ive already been to one radio station which i really enjoyed so want to stay in that area..any suggestions?


Also i see that people were looking for RTE..not a hope. Apparently they select like 5 schools in the whole of dublin(and unfair to the culcies too,lol) and take students from them only, probs fee-paying ones too, but i could be wrong.
Really unfair, as I have heard of people goin there that have no interest in working in the media, and just go cas they have nowhere else and its good on the cv.

so unfair

so i badly neeed somewhere to go!

Yeah, that was her office in Leinster House. I did a lot of different stuff, met some politicians, did paperwork. It was really varied, each day was different.

If your in dublin try the department of art sport and tourism.. I emailed but phonecalls more effective as I have now realised...
Or maybe the CSO but that's more stats.

Work expierence is good. I think they should do it in all schools, and not just with TY's and LCA. It shows you what the outside world is like. workwise!

Anyone know of a work experience that it would be possible to get for the last week of February which would give me the insight into the job of a doctor.
