TIPS FOR STUDENTS TO SECURE WORK EXPERIENCE
The following tips may help secondary students to secure work experience at the company of their choice.
1. Setting goals
Students should assess what they are seeking to achieve. They should also think about their passions, interests, and personal strengths, and how they can apply them as part of the workforce. For example, if students have a passion for music, they may be able to turn that talented to working in a music shop.
2. Listing chosen jobs and companies
Students can create a ‘wish list’ of different types of jobs that they are interested in, and make a list of all of the companies in their local area that they would like to work for.
3. Contacting people for help
Students may speak to teachers, family, and friends to see if they know anyone who works for one of their target organisations, because these people may be able to assist them. If students do not have any existing contacts, they may research online for contacts with the company of their choice.
4. Building a CV
Employers will ask for a student's CV, so students should speak to teachers, family or friends for tips on how to write a CV. They may also get in touch with a recruitment agency for their advice. A CV should include students'contact details and their achievements at school.
5. Making their move
Schools or colleges will contact organisations on students' behalf. However, if their school or college does not offer this service, students should consider phoning the companies on their wish list and ask to speak to someone about work experience opportunities. Students may go to the company in person and ask for the relevant contact at reception. They should take copies of their CV with them, because they may be asked to leave one behind.
6. Dressing to impress
If students are invited to the company for an interview, they are always advised to dress in a smart manner to impress people.
7. Preparing for their first day
Students should ask questions about their new work placement. They should know how to get there, what time they should arrive, who to ask for, and if there is anything they need to bring with them.
8. Keeping an open mind
Students should always be friendly, open, flexible, and hard-working to impress the company they are working for. They may be asked to do some tasks that are not as interesting as others, but they should try their best with everything that is given to them.
9. Asking for feedback
Students should ask for written feedback so that they have something to show to their future employers. Their school or college may provide them with a feedback form. If they don't, students should ask for feedback on their competencies. These include time management, communication following instructions, customer service, and working with other people.
10. Following up
Once students have completed their work experience they should send the company a thank you letter. The company has invested time and money to have students with them, so students shou d share their feedback and the experience they have had during their time with the company. That way, if a job opportunity comes up in the future, the company just may call them.
