• Finding a placement:- Do you know someone who works for, or owns a
company, in this area?- Think about what companies are in Camberley or near to where you live- Try using www.yell.com- Still not sure? Come to see Mr Woolford or Mrs Fuller at break or lunchtime – we are based in the Careers Room (Ground floor of the LRC)
What do you need to do now?

• Write/email a letter (like the one you will write in your booklets during registration) to at least three employers.
• After one week, telephone the company to see if they received your letter. This also gives you the opportunity to ask if you can spend your work experience week with them.
• If you have any problems with this please speak to your Form Tutor or come to see Mr Woolford in the Careers Department
You have found some companies to contact, then
what?

• Some employers do not take students for work experience:- Are not allowed- Age restrictions- Confidentiality- CRB
• Some employers will ask you to provide your own clothing or equipment
• Some employers ask for a CV (if this is the case tell me and I will help you to write one. Or you could use U-Explore, Careers on the VLE or the National Careers Service web-site)
• Often employers will only take one (possibly two) students so you may not be able to go with your friends. This also means more competition!
