Well.....What I want to do in the future has very few things that I can do today.

I wont be able to work in a hospital....

Oh by the way, my work experience is in first week on January.

[*noor]

what about work in a clinic or something like that?

[afriend]

:-\

lol, I'm not sure....They'll make me do stupid jobs, like be a receptionist...or file folders.....Degrading? though so! :-\

[Sum-Muslim-Gal]

:sl:

:w:

[afriend]

lol, I'm not sure....They'll make me do stupid jobs, like be a receptionist...or file folders.....Degrading? though so! :-\

well is there a list of things you have to choose from or do you just go look for one on your own??

[afriend]

I choose.....I can also put in a special word for advanced stuff....Choices which aren't on the choices, only for some people...I doubt I'll even be allowed to do that.

Who cares if it's 'degrading'? If you're well-behaved and polite, you may well make your first contact in the medical world. Getting your foot in the door is crucial in today's competitive world, trust me.

[Sum-Muslim-Gal]

yeah...Meds....

I know I'm just going to kill myself doing it

:sl:

coool ma'shaAllah...

i doubt they will let u actualy work with patients coz of the age n dat...

Yeah I know it'll be...But it just feels, so crappy. If you get me? I mean I wont be filing folders of receptionist after doing Meds.

Muezzin has a really good point. If not always what you know, but who you know especially when its competitive. What you know will not always be enough

True, but realistically, what is any non-retail employer going to offer a secondary school work experience student? If I were you, I'd go for work experience in the medical field. Simply having experience in the field will look good on your CV in the future, and you don't have to mention that all you did was filing etc... if anything, you could put a cool twist on it and said you learnt some communications skills.

[Sum-Muslim-Gal]

hey why dont u work in a school..part of care experience...

but then again alot of girls go for that...lol.

Iqram, if you're going to do medicine in the future then I seriously would advise you to do work experience in a medical field. It might be boring but trust me that might be thing that would get you into medicine. It's very tough to get into medicine these days especially if you want to go to a good university. It's only 2 weeks right? They'll go by really quick! Just do it!

In future when you're in college insha'Allah you will have to do a lot of work experience 'care/medical related'. So you're going to start at some point, you might aswell start now.

PS Iqram, you'll be surprised how much paperwork a doctor must do. Better to be doing paperwork than lifting and unloading in a retail job.

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

Just a sidenote akhi, Medical costs ALOT. You have to start working hard in school from right now and try your best to get top grades. You'll need scholorships to do medical unless your very rich :D

Yes...I suppose :uhwhat....But if you think about it, being a doc is boring anyway! Everything about it....But just rewarding, that's all....

;) My good man (bro :p)...I had exact same idea in mind ;D LOL!

[Sister_6038]

you could actually do one week in one work environment and one week in another so you get the best of the awful world of work, whatever you do, try out an office environment, that will be enough to put you off working in one forever!!

ha im joking my work experience was a blast and that was in a office, but hey i guess its all what you make it

[afriend]

If that is possible then that would be great.

I want to have some fun too.

[Sister_6038]

it should be my friend did one week with county court and the other in a solicitors, you can choose whatever you want to do as its you who sets it up, my little sister did some funky thing where she went to like 12 different work environments in two weeks, bah humbug, she got loads of freebies, i got £40 and thats a lot of money for a 14 year old kid, i think i was 14 cant remember it was so long ago

[afriend]

I didn't think you would get paid for your work. Well, jazakallah for your advice, I am going to see if I can work at two different locations. One week in a medical field, and the second week at PCWorld.

[afriend2]

Salaam,

Ha, this is a coincidence considering I'm at my work experience right now. I chose to do it with my brother in his computer company (No this wasn't a sly way to come on LI :rollseyes )

Wassalam :peace:

[afriend]

so you got to choose exactly where you were going to work? That's great I could work at home, testing out software for microsoft.

And then in my second week work at a clinic or GP surgery.

[Re.TiReD]

be an imam for ur local mosque, trust me, thats some niiice experience :coolious:

lol yeah....i dint do work experience in skoolcoz...well just didnt an den las year i taught the kiddies in the masjid...its TOP!! trust me...

lol :D you know what...just do anythin...at the end of the day its just the experience in a work environment that you need to look good on your CV..even then you can make stuff up...(i did! :D ) :w:

[akulion]

grab a broom

go out and start cleaning up the streets

- will be helping society - doing a community service
- good deeds registered for striving for cleanliness
- can be put down in CV as voluntary community service
- good exercise
- good workout for the muscles
- also will make u more humble being able to put away all pride to serve society

[afriend2]

so you got to choose exactly where you were going to work? That's great I could work at home, testing out software for microsoft.

Salaam,

We got given out forms where we put down occupations we wanted, in order of the best at the beginning. And the teacher's job is to find you a placement....

And if you have already spoken with a particular company/workplace then you're sorted.

Wassalam :peace:

[Ur_Sister]

Its best to work in a field you are interested in e.g. if you want to become a doctor you should work in a hospital as it will give you an idea of you want to be in a future.

I wanted to work in a pharmacy but once I did my two weeks experience there I hated the job; it was so boring, rude customers and decided I would rather work in a office.

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

Its best to work in a field you are interested in e.g. if you want to become a doctor you should work in a hospital as it will give you an idea of you want to be in a future
