Year 10 work experience

Lots of parent slips coming in, thank you!  Several students seem to be looking for placements in sport-related work, and I have to tell you that not many people find placements like that.  Some do, but normally only if they find their own - I am very unlikely to have sport-related placements on the Link2 list (available in the Spring).  Sport-related is a very small employment sector, especially for work where students can go on placement.  Keep looking and asking, but keep your mind open also to placements which offer similar opportunities : busy, hands-on, team-work, showing initiative.  Think about what it is about sport you really like, and apply that to a more accessible work place.  The work experience will be just as valid on your CV and give you a chance to sample a different type of work.  The same goes for those that want to work in healthcare-related settings.  Welcome to the real world!
Interesting article on Icould.com about working in sport.
