Try somewhere thats not a bike shop.

ramemtbers

hmmm. i will try to find an engineering firm then.

Andy

Try loads of places. Places you don't necessarily want to work in the future but will give you a different kind of experience.

ramemtbers

thanks for the advice. all the places need to be in plymouth or where i live or torpoint. so i probably find something.

The Northern Monkey

I suggest you spell it right 1st....

ramemtbers

Yeah, sorry. It is getting quite bad.

i suggest you phone them after writing, letters are far too easy to ignore.

Whatever you do, don't teach English!

Just moan, and moan, and moan and moan at people until they give you experience - it works normally.

ask family members if there's somewhere that they can stick in a good word for you?

Phone up the company first and say:
"Hello, I'm calling to enquire about Work Experience and was wondering who I should talk to"
They'll then put you through to the relevant person or give you their address (which you can then send directly to the right person - oh, and make sure you have their name spelt correctly!)
You'll get one pretty quick that way, or, they'll say from the word go that they don't do it, so you can cross it off your list.

ramemtbers

thanks for the advice.

Get some experience with the Oxford University Press.

You might learn something.

my brother went to a kitchen in a primary school.
he found it funny because he had to give out the sponge cake and the liitle kids would say "i want that one", "actually i want that one" but they were all the same

ramemtbers

hmmmm. i might try more engineering firms then. thanks.

tleast engineering firms will give you a look at the whole design process with any luck. i did work experience at factory making plastic injection moulded pipes and stuff but the week was set up so i got to visit every department form maintenance to designing to actual shop floor production, was pretty interesting to be honest.

Now thats not very nice I can see where you are coming from though. Believe it or not i got an A* for some english course work.

how is that possible. you must have brought in a spell checker becasue your nearly as bad as 4XJ and that is pretty bad :P

ramemtbers

Yeah something like that. Although on microsoft word there is a spell check, but here i believe not. It would be handy if there was one, i would be able to communicate with the normal people. Not only the miss spellers.

Shorty12

Or just spell correctly to start with

ramemtbers

Spelling is not one of my strong points. I am better at mechanical things and doing things with my hands. Not all that academic stuff.
