Work Experience
My one week placement at Elevating Success UK took place in March 2015. I expected it to be office-based and that I would be on the computer a lot of the time and doing lots of filing and paperwork. My experience matched my expectation in some ways and differed in others. I used the computer and developed my understanding of how to use PowerPoint.
I sorted folders and learnt how to write letters. I was able to watch the tutors teach classes to all different types of people and learnt how they deal with different sorts of people. I went to meetings to see how they work and also sat and watched people do their mock interviews. I watched people get help writing their CVs, which gave me an insight to what CVs should include.
Being at Elevating Success UK has taught me many skills I will need when entering work life. I have a better understanding of CVs and I know how interviews work and what you should wear and how you should speak. I have learnt that there are different ways to deal with different people and I have also learnt how to write letters which will help me in the future.
