Citizenship :: Economics
Citizenship There are plenty of reasons for schools sending us to work experience. I believe that work experience gives us pupils a taste of the world of work. This would show and give the pupils a rough idea of how working life is. Also it will help them in the future on what they would be interested to achieve and what they would desire to be. In Kelmscott School they send us to work experience in Year 10. I worked in T.K. Maxx during my work experience. In my work experience I was an Associate. This meant I had to help do things around the building such as tagging, cleaning, tidying up and picking up stocks. The reason why I chose this job was because I wanted to learn new skills.

These had jobs such as working in Sainsburyââ¬â¢s, HMV, and T.K Maxx etc. The job I chose made it suitable for me because I had personal qualities for instances I am a good communicator.

In my work experience I hoped to achieve the following targets; to be able to arrive on time; to work as team member; to work without being supervised; to meet targets and deadlines and use the time well to complete the job told. During my work experience I did a number of different things. I was tagging nearly everyday. I had to tag things like clothes, shoes and other equipments. At first this was hard and I did a couple of items of clothing wrong, because I placed the tag in the wrong place. After a while I got used to it and according to my boss did an excellent job. I did 14 rails of clothes and I surpassed my target which was 10. After a day or two I started something different. I did what you call
