My Work Experience Experience

Hello,
So two weeks ago, I did my work experience. I was really nervous for the months building up, but as the date crept closer, I started to get more excited. 

I did my work experience at a housing company (not sure if I'm allowed to state the company). I didn't go to building sites as I was more interested in social skills and administration. 

On the first day, I got the bus to the office and went to the reception desk. My 'supervisor' came to get me and took me on a tour of the building and gave me a fob to get in/out. While she made me a rota, I observed the reception desk and was given an overview of the computer systems. I then made some booklets up. At 5pm, I went home.

The next day, I did some office work. Basically, I took staples from documents, electronic filing and publishing and filing paper documents. I also was given a health and safety induction.

On Wednesday, I looked at some amazing apartments. I then went to a meeting where residents of a building stated their complaints/concerns. On the afternoon, I did more of what I had done the previous day.

On Thursday, I went to look at more apartments and to read a electricity meter. After that, we went to view a house to see if the resident's house was in good enough condition for the resident to move. Then we went to confront people who had had a complaint made against them and politely ask them to improve whatever it was. After that, I sat in and observed a sign-up meeting. It was a bit tense and awkward at some stages.

Then on my last day, I observed reception and renewed the houses on offer. I was given a certificate and a pen-which I think could go into my 'record of achievement'?

Overall, it was a really good experience- even with awkward/ignorant customers. Despite the fact I want to be a Midwife, this work experience has given me more confidence around new people in difficult situations. I loved every minute and would definitely go back again. I would recommend this particular field of work for work experience and just to actually do work experience, as all my friends enjoyed whatever they did too! However, make sure you know how to get to your placement and all the other details.

Thanks for reading,
BYE!!
