Voluntering Work or Work Experience

Anyone done any before and if so how did you find it and what did you do

im just thinking about doing some and i was wondering what it is like

 

I did mine in fifth year at school. IIRC, they gave us some options and we picked the one we thought most suited us.
I was a fluffer on the set of 'Homo Alone'. Not a bad gig. And a free lunch most days.

 

are you a 15 yr old whos about to be sent on a work placement for 2 weeks?

i went to a car garage and they threatened to grease up my balls on the last day

 

Six months doing conservation work with the BTCV. Everything from fencing in the Lake District to rhoddy bashing on the Isle of Skye. Had a fantastic time. Also became a team leader for a few months taking groups out on loads of different projects.

It all depends on what you want to do and who you do it with.

 

That sounds nice. Had they been greasing up your arse for the nine days before that?

 

I did mine at school. Was pretty good. I worked at a computer shop and got my laptop fixed for free and the Chinese next to us gave us all a free meal on the Friday.

 

sporadically

 

When I was at school a 'laptop' was your dinner in front of the TV.

 

Does that mean you're a grease monkey?

i'll be whatever you want me to be.....

 

<shudder>

 

I do voluntary work at London Zoo, I was doing a zoology degree so checked out the ZSL website to see if there were volunteering opportunities and applied.

I enjoy it but obviously pick something that you have an interest in. Plenty of companies will be happy to have you work for free

What were you looking to do?

 

I did my work experience at British Aerospace in Stevenage. I like to think that some of my soldering ended up in Iraq or Afghanistan.

 

Fallen apart into a million bits? Surely you didn't want it ending there?

 

In the hand of the Taliban probably...
