    • Yep!
    Worked for a radio show near when I am from. Only a 2 week thing from my school.

    I have a year out in my University course next year, so I am looking at games companies.
    It is so hard to get people to even consider accepting =[

    • I did work experience when I was in year 10. It was at a Dog Washing center. Though I wasn't qualified to wash the dogs or groom then, I was given the jobs of playing with the dogs and walking them, and I enjoyed it. :)

    I just disliked the fact I came home covered in fur. XD;

    I haven't done it yet, but next year I'll be doing it at a photography studio. Just messin' around with Photoshop and all that jazz. Got it arranged a couple of months ago and I'm really looking forward to it.

    Yeah, I've done 2 lots of work experience, one in a hotel kitchen and one at an airbase. I preffered the latter (obviously). The airbase wasn't really work experience, we were just given a tour and shown what it would be like to work there. For some reason, they wouldn't let us fly any of the planes...
    I've also worked in childcare and I'm currently working in IT, outside of school work experience; I still had a lot of forms to fill out, find an adult willing to have responsibility over me etc. seeing as the law still classes me as a young person.

    • My high school never offered anything like this. Well, not in the sense that it was compulsory. There was a program where people could give up their last three periods of the day and get work experience, but that was an everyday ordeal, for school credit.

    It does sound interesting though.

    • My school only has them every second year. I did mine two years ago at a recording studio. It was pretty amazing, actually. I was surprised I got in, though. There were only five slots for our school, and something like 150 students applied.

    Definitely an experience I'll never forget.

    My school doesn't offer it, at least I don't know if they do, lol.

    Although I have gone to work the past four weeks as a lifeguard. It as pretty cool, I guess.

    I have. Mostly retail and agricultural since there's not anything else I could think of doing and apparently nothing much else in my area.
    All my placements have been compulsory.

    I've noticed how one dog is a lot more effective than even six humans at rounding up sheep.

    • I did mine in a local middle school (before they went all primary -> secondary tiers on us), but rather than interact with the kids, they had us sort out the library. T_T; I've never looked at the Dewey Decimal system in the same way since...

    • Did my just over a year ago now. Went to work at a computer store/office that my uncle owns. Instead of working on computers or paperwork (Something which I would have tolerated), I ended up just carrying boxes around for most of it or shredding paper. Most people there were nice but I was glad when the week was over.
