My Work Experience at a Primary School
For my work experience I received a placement at Primary
School. It is located in Wyke, Bradford and provides education for
children aged three to eleven. I attended High Fernley primary school
for two weeks; my work placement began on 27 September and ended on 9
October. Each day I arrived at 8.30amand normally finished at 3.10pm;
sometimes I would work slightly longer in order to finish tasks.
I did not attend a pre-placement visit as a result of a delay in
confirmation of the placement. Nevertheless, I rang High Fernley as
soon as I received confirmation and I spoke to the school
administrator, Mrs. Julie Malinder. I introduced myself and thanked
them for accepting my work placement. I asked important questions
regarding dress code, arrival times and lunch arrangements.
Before the placement I was excited because I was looking forward to it
and I knew that I would like the school environment. However I was
also nervous because I was going to be working in a different
environment and I would be working in a different role as a teaching
assistant not as a student. I had a basic idea about what this work
placement would involve and I had already thought about what skills,
abilities and qualities I hoped to gain from this experience.
I was hoping to gain further knowledge about the working environment,
what it was like and how different it is to a student life. I also
wanted to develop my communication skills by talking to adults and
children and participating in class discussions. I also hoped that it
would give me a taste of this type of work and help me decide if I
wanted to do a simi...

...unicate effectively with
large groups of children.
In the future I would like to keep on improving the above skills so
that I would feel confident in any work situations.
Overall I had an excellent, fun and memorable work experience. I
enjoyed most aspects of this type of work and I learnt so much and I
feel that I have become more knowledgeable and improved as a person.
The only parts I did not enjoy was when I had nothing to do; I like to
always be doing something that is productive and active.
I do not know what career I would like to pursue in the future but I
would like to be involved in an active job where I would not be bored.
I would also like to do a job that involved music or sport. In
addition I would like to be in a job where no day is exactly the same
and where I can learn something new everyday.
Have you ever been in a position where you where stuck and couldn’t decide between two careers? Whether it was something that you love to do or something that pays well? The answer may seem easy to you but when you start comparing the facts; that’s when it gets hard to choose. For many of us, graduates and people around the world have a difficult time choosing a career that can be a confusing process. A lot of people tend to settle down on a career quickly. Unfortunately, choosing a rapid occupation often leads to an unsatisfying path in the future, if not sooner. Eventually the individual decides to quit and start all over again. According to choosingacareer.net, “6% of workers over the age 50 are in the process of changing a career, resumes mailed to companies’ staffing departments only accounts for 3% of hires nationwide, and 95% of human resources managers and 95% of job seekers depend on personal contacts and networking to fill and find openings.” (choosingacareer.net) Choosing a career takes time and research, so it’s better to plan your future than rapidly pick one. Although some people claim they are happy with the career they chose of the bat, choosing a career carefully is much more effective because in the long run you will feel content and appreciate more with the choice you made.
can work in all different settings. I just happen to work in women 's health with moms and babies.
As young child we are all asked what we would like to be when we grow up. Usually the answer is a firefighter, a policeman, or nurse. When I was a child I changed my mind multiple times. At first I wanted to be Minnie Mouse, then a dancer. Then, about two years ago, I wanted to be a crime scene investigator. I had all my plans worked out. I was going to attend the University of Memphis and major in criminal justice. However, one day about a year ago, my mind totally changed. I decided to go in the complete opposite direction. I decided that I wanted to be a cosmetologist.
When people are younger everyone always ask what do you want to be when you are older? Of course when it is children everyone is filled with wonder about their answer whether it’s a model, astronaut, race car driver, etc. Now that I’m older it’s expected for me to know exactly what to do with my life and how to do it. I realized very soon that I sometimes can be an indecisive person when it comes to life-long decisions. This being a huge decision in one’s life you could only imagine how many times I’ve changed my idea on what to go to school for. Although, changing my mind become a norm, I eventually decided a degree in business/marketing is the right path for me. What are my career and educational goals, what will my job would be like, and
work such as counseling or education and also customer service. Customer service although it is not my main focus it is an important part of every job and I think it is essential to continue to be proficient in dealing with people in my field or
Finding your calling in life can be one of the hardest things to do, for some it is obvious from a young age on what you want to do. For example, my mom has gone on a spree of jobs in her life and she has only recently found something that she actually wants to do. My dad on the other hand knew from a young age what he wanted to do, he liked to tinker and straight after he got out of highschool he knew that he wanted to be a mechanic, and he has stuck with that career path for more than 30 years now. I am currently undecided on what I want to do for the rest of my life, however one of the careers that I am looking at is a law enforcement officer.
Growing up I struggled with the constant question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” With so many different career paths to choose from, it’s hard to become overwhelmed. As college gradually tiptoed in on me, I began to feel like I would never find the profession right for me. The few things that I did know I wanted in my future career were very simple to me. They were a job in the healthcare world where I could go home each night knowing I made a difference in someone’s life. A job that wasn’t just following a routine everyday but required creativity and brought new challenges while working with a diverse population.

Choosing a career path that is right for you can be the most crucial decisions you make in your life. Not only is making the right choice important for the present, but it is especially important for your future. When choosing a career it is valuable to consider things such as growth potential, monetary benefits, strengths, weaknesses, and your happiness. By doing that it will help clarify the benefits and tradeoffs for each opportunity you are given. That being said, making such a weighted decision that will impact the rest of your life can be nerve-racking, extremely scary, stressful, and outright frustrating. However, making this decision is not impossible and can become less complicated if you are given the right tools. Gathering information
There are so many cases of bullying, and suicide in young children that I would enjoy helping before it gets to that level. I would also enjoy helping parent become empowered to becoming their children's ambassadors when dealing with situations that they are unfamiliar but need addressing. This also would be a career path that would require more educational time for myself however as stated above the rewards far outweigh the time
As we begin to grow up and come to the end of our high school career we must start to begin to start thinking about what type of career we want to be in. It is very important that a person picks the right type of career for them. Otherwise you will be unhappy with what you are doing and will not enjoy it at all. I am not entirely sure what I want my career to be but I have a pretty good idea as to what type of job it will be. I would like to go into the field of a physical therapist and sports medicine, I fell I will enjoy this more than any other type of career just because I already have a lot of interest in it.
Activity Experience: I found out that I enjoy working with people. That people have their pros and their cons.
...l of many areas of my chosen field, and not get bored with what is happening around me. I have a tentative plan of getting my masters in marketing, then going corporate for a hospitality corporation. This way I can actually make and see changes in the whole company, instead of just one property.
My ideal career would allow me to do something that interests me. I enjoy working with words and with numbers. I've also had success in the areas of technology and customer service.
Like any other freshman college student away from home, I felt invincible, I felt free, and I missed home terribly. I was not used to being just a grain of salt in the infinite ocean of students, I did not have a clue on how to manage my time, and I was having trouble communicating with other students and professors.
