Wow, I can't get a chance or opporturnity to do work experience at a hospital let alone in another country!! Good work experience is dependant on "contacts" , which is not fair for the majority of medical applicants in deprived areas.

[@sidstrom6804]

Strongly agreed as dr kids get work experience in operation theatres🤣🤣🤣

[@ryart579]

As a college student, I can safely say I have no family in digital departments, no friends that I'm close enough to ask their parents and also no social skills to go out and talk to people so... welp, I'm screwed

relatable

I like how there are very few jumpcuts it makes the video seem like a conversation

[@socksmith6222]

my form is due on friday. I don't have a placement. IF YOU'RE YEAR 9 AND READING THIS, MAKE UR CV THE MOMENT YOU HEAR OF WORK EXPERIENCE I'M BEGGING YOU.

I want to be an actress and artist. But I'm kinda stuck on where to go, Art Gallery (Tate Modern etc) or to a Theatre?

[@heavymetal1ization]

I made the mistake of taking maths and further maths, but not physics. Not really much you can do with knowing how to translate shapes and solve equations.

Hi I'm 47 and you have really helped me know to do regarding approaching companies direct for work experience, I did know I could do this.
I'm in search of a career change and have gone back to college studying counselling.
Thankyou so much and all the best in your life and career choice.

[@hiteshshah9979]

Thanks for the advice :)

[@codycrowe5430]

I don't know how to write the email thooo

[@pbsciencetacular7688]

Thank you for the clear, helpful tips and steps for getting work experience.:) I am in y10 and I have just received my y10 mock exam results. Can I include these results in my forms and emails to companies when asking them for work experience?

[@gommiiee.o4008]

Hiya! Thanks so much for the video it was super helpful .Say if I wanted to actually get some work experience during the summer , for example, what time frame would you say I should start looking for them . As in weeks or months?

[@ManishaP]

If you're looking for this summer, I'd get asking them asap, as soon as a company opens their work experience applications then places are taken quite quickly. Try look for a week or two, as this is convenient for them but also enables you to try and gain as much experience as possible.

[@gommiiee.o4008]

Thanks so much. I am participating in NCS this year and so have decided not to take on work experience but I want to get a head start for work experience during sixth form especially in the first half term. So would you recommend looking towards the end of the summer or in September and closer to the half term?

[@ManishaP]

+Gommiiee .O hmm it depends where you're looking to get a placement, as I said with something like medicine it's probably too late even for this year. With other areas I'd say try getting work experience at the end of summer as once you get into a levels you'll be loaded with work and want to focus on grades☺️

[@malavikamenon8519]

thank you

[@shotoosworldd804]

my school stopped it so i have to go during holidays instead 😭

[@enforcer_yt870]

i'm a year 10 studen looking for work experience in photography, does anyone know anywhere i could go?

[@ambertome1086]

Enforcer _YT do you know where yet because i’m taking it too ?

[@maple6843]

@@ambertome1086 same, did you guys find something?

[@candx2353]

Hi i wanted to ask if you get paid for any type of work experience in year 10-11

[@handouts5555]

No

[@malavikamenon8519]

hi
are you a malayali ? :)
i also wanted to ask: i am in year 11 taking gcse now and interested in medicine
is it too late if i do my work experience next year during A levels

[@ManishaP]

Hi there!
I am indeed :')
Don't worry lots of my friends only got 'Medically-related' work experience in year 12 and it's totally fine, as long as you have some sort of placement complete before the start of year 13 you should be fine.

[@okaya1463]

Just subbed 👍👍

[@maddie5131]

This really clarified the process thanks🦋

[@aimeethomson7806]
