Essay about My Work Experience
My Work Experience
When I was told that I would be doing my work experience at Belleview nursing home, working
with old sick people I found that it was a very daunting prospect. After my first day there, that had all
changed.
I made my way to work on Monday 6th of June by the service bus at 8.30am to be at my workplace
by 9.00am. The thought of meeting new people and trying to act mature in an environment I was
not sure of scared me. I got to Belleview nursing home and suddenly felt all my worries diminish
within ten minutes of meeting my newfound work colleagues. The matron, Myra Symes, welcomed
me with a smile and made me feel part of the team immediately. I was informed of my duties and

One particular patient, Lizzie, who was 97 and looked very sad, and confused, due to her dementia,
thinking that she was still at home during the war and thought she was a sixteen year old girl. I
thought of how she must have felt, having the mind of a sixteen year old but the body of a ninety
seven year old. She made me feel sad for her but feeling sorry for the patients doesn't help in the
caring profession. Therefore I had to focus on the job I was there to do.
As my week progressed at the nursing home, so did my capabilities I grew more confident in the
tasks I was being asked to perform. I was beginning to feel part of the team. Getting to know my
work mates on a daily basis made me feel that any problems I would be facing with the patients
would be quickly diminished by simply asking for help on anything I wasn't sure of.
I began helping with the bathing, dressing, feeding and aiding them with their toilet needs.
Although the patients were old not all of them were ill, therefore they needed exercise and
showing them exercise videos where we all joined in. This made it a fun time for them, thus
making their day much more bearable. My days here were passing quickly in the workplace as the
patients kept me busy. They all had different and special

Essay about My Work Experience
My Work Experience
I went on work experience for a week in June at Natwest Bank in Bakewell. Natwest is part of a
larger organisation called the Royal Bank of Scotland Group. The Royal Bank of Scotland bought
Natwest in March 2000 for ВЈ21 billion which was the biggest take–over in British banking history.
Natwest is a national company and very well known so I felt quite privileged to work for them.
Also the Bakewell branch was of a very high standard of service from the checks they get every
month as I was shown the data of this when I went to visit them. From working in a banking
environment I learnt a lot about how banking works and what goes on behind closed doors of the
public, which was...show more content...
I worked with many different people, such as the manager, cashier, client interviewer and the
receptionist. The people I worked with were very helpful and kind to me helping me in every way
they could. The manager was especially kind to me and made me feel welcome and part of the bank
as soon as I arrived.
I think a made a helpful contribution to the bank and always did what I was asked to do without
any hesitation and no complaints. I enjoyed doing every task I was set and especially when I was
set to audit the bank's appearance over the week I was there, by filling in the "Topbox Service" in.
It made me feel as if I was helping the bank and that they trusted me to give me this responsibility. I
learnt about how a bank runs and learnt many new skills at me placement and these were:
В· How to use a photocopier
В· How to use a fax machine
В· How to cashier
В· How to use the Natwest computer system
В· What accounts could be given to people
В· How the alarms works
В· How to fill in a stationary and printed order form
В· How to key in Cash exchange forms into the Natwest computer
В· How to fill the ATM up
В· How to count and bag

Work Experience
I didn't choose what my work placement was to be. I turned up at Miss Franklin's office nervously
hoping that I would get a good placement. She sat me down and looked through some documents.
She pulled a wad out and told me that she had found a convenient work placement. She showed me
the letters, and the title was BUPA Hospital,Marketing Department, Bushey. The first thought that
sprang into my head was, how tedious. Then I took some time to think about the ups and downs of
it. I do live in Bushey and it is not even five minutes drive from my house. Also my business studies
coursework is about marketing so I might gain some useful knowledge that would help me with that.

I realised that mine might not be as exciting or eventful as theirs but I considered that my placement
might be a more useful experience for later life.
My mother is friendly with quite a lot of people who work at BUPA. She spoke to quite a close
friend of hers who answers to my supervisor and was told that she is a great lady and I would have a
lot of fun with her. My mother was also told that there could be a chance of a part–time job after
school and on Saturdays. This inspired me to work really hard for them in order try to impress
everyone.
I had not done any research into the company apart from a brief look at their web site but I felt
that I knew sufficient information for a preliminary interview. I hoped to learn some very
important life skills and gain some great experience, which would be of use to me in later life. I was
hoping to gain work on computer skills, as I feel I am competent in this area and could impress if I
were to be given the chance. As I did not know a great deal about marketing I was keen to gain as
much knowledge as possible and hospital marketing is a field of its own.
On the whole I looked forward to the week it would be a good experience that should teach me
some useful skills.

Work Experience Between June 30th to July 14th, I had the most nervous and prominent moment of
my life, I went to work for the first time of my 15 years life.
I felt exciting fervent and passionate, after a scrutinising and strict interview with my boss Ralph
Cohen. Wondering what will it be like to work like a mature adult?

I push open the store door; with myriad abstract paradox that I question with chill and fright about
the way I should carry out my work. Bumping straight into the shadow of my boss Mr Cohen a
gigantic and masculine man that seems to have a lot of respect among his staff, but is very
scrtinous and sceptical about the store and staff standard. He greets my arrival keenly, but
promptiously, and commands the staffs to give me a brief tour and talk about the different places
and daily working procedures of the store. The staffs who gave me the tour seems to be more
caring and willing to answer my doubted queries, comparing to the boss, who was always busy
and promptious at scrutinating the state of store, and checking the store finance balance. I was
quickly given my first tasks, after the tour. It shock me hearing that the tasks I've been given
involve vastly of manual work, instead of more academic work, relevant to my present experience
and knowledge, that I gain in school. The tasks of managing the store stock, needs years of
experience, good strategical thinking skills, plus having top physical state. It is very hard for me to
complete the tasks, as I didn't posses any above qualities, without constant consultation with the
staffs. Fortunately most of the staff is very caring and explanative to most of my doubts and queries,

Job Experience Essay
Nearly seven years ago, when I started working for the local DirecTV installation company, it
wasn't exactly a dream come true. I had the aptitude for it, having worked previously as a home
theatre installer back in Kansas City, but this job was much easier by comparison. What made this
job less than desirable were the hot attics, damp crawlspaces where I wasn't always the only thing
crawling around and the loose eaves near ideal dish mounting locations that were often home to
swarms of hornets.

The best part of this situation for me was the pay. I was making $12.50 per inspection. That's over
$1500 per week! Despite the great pay, I had been unemployed for nearly a month before starting

but also to cover the startup costs of tools and ladders. This advice would soon lead to disaster.
For the first time in several months I was going to Atlanta, Georgia to visit my daughter for the
weekend. I had received one puny paycheck and one nice one, but had spent everything to get
caught up on bills that had accumulated during my unemployment. So, I did what experience and
observation had taught me to do, I called payroll and asked for a relatively small advance to cover
my weekend trip. Without incident a check showed up at the office the next day and my wife and I
were off for a fun weekend with my daughter. It wasn't until late the next week that all hell began to
break loose.
