  • The role really helped aid me into deciding what i want to do in the future. This doing the work experience I have decided i would like to continue in education for some time longer before going into this field later on but at a higher level, possibly in a management position.

  • 7. Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
  • I was not paid for this experience but it was entirely optional how long I was there and because I was keen to find out about the business I did not see this as an issue. i also did the work experience during school holidays so it did not actually affect my school work either.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Audi to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend it to a friend as it is a great way to decide what you want to do in the future. Going somewhere like I did meant I was able to see different areas and not just one job role which was interesting as i appreciate a lot of work experience opportunities are more limited in what you can see.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Audi?
  • If i was to give advice to a friend who was to gain experience, I would recommend they go a visit the dealership and have a chat with the staff to see what options they have available. It might be that over a busy period they could pay someone with some skills to temporarily fill in a role and see what they think of it.
