  • 7. Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
  • This work experience programme was unpaid however, despite this, I was able to take away a lot of useful skills that employers look for so that when I look for a job myself, I will be able to stand out from the rest! Therefore, highly recommended and NOT a waste of time!

  • 9b. Why?
  • It is a very welcoming company which stands agains racism and stands for innovation. I really like how everyone in the company is open and willing to answer any questions, while also enjoying their field of work. Employees are also sometimes sent abroad by the company which is really nice and allows employees to progress in the company and creates lots of future options for them!

Then, in your application, you should always mention the things you enjoy and mention key words like 'punctual' and 'organised' in order to stand out from the rest! Don't forget to mentions your hobbies!
