What part of the job did you find interesting?

  • Working with kids was interesting and it was entertaining to see how the staff would deal with the kids.
  • Helping the students especially with visual arts.
  • Doing the marketing and to see behind the scenes of everything.
  • All of it.
  • Assisting customers.
  • I found it interesting knowing where most of our prints come from and how the machines work.
  • Taking apart an engine.
  • Talking to clients.
  • Working on site.
  • Observing the process is and looking at the treatments that are offered to patients. 
  • Very interesting being able to go onto construction sites to get an insight on what happens. Being able to do a lot of new things and going around to various areas was a lot of fun.

What part of the job did you find challenging?

  • Trying to keep enthusiastic even though I was very tired.
  • The physical work.
  • Getting up early.

Has this confirmed your career choice or changed your mind?

  • It has given me some interest in which working with young kids.
  • I might choose something else even though I really liked the experience.
  • It has confirmed my choice because I found it really interesting.
  • I loved working here but it's not a career that I want to follow now.
  • It has made me more open minded to other jobs but I do like the idea of working in tech.
  • This hasn't exactly confirmed my career choice but it has put me in the direction to where I want to go.
  • Work experience has made me value an understand this job a lot more. Due to this, I'm even more interested in working in this field.
  • It has changed my mind as I don't want to sit in an office all day.
  • This has solidified my choice of career in psychology I found all aspects of my experience rewarding.
  • Somewhere in the middle for me. While I enjoyed it a lot, I still want to keep my options open for now. I can see myself doing this job in the future though.

WORK EXPERIENCE REVIEW – IAN ISAAC – Year 10 student

Work Experience is great for all Year 10s. 

I worked at the Salvos store in Dandenong. I stacked and priced goods. My supervisors were great people” kind, nice, amazing, good communicators, friendly and hard working. They helped me a lot. 

I would rate work experience as a 5 out of 5.
