Work Experience

[BleasePlease]

i did my work experience back in 2004 at The Age. was pretty lucky to get in, they organise there work experience at least 3 months in advance, so get in early.

Just give them a call or even if you give one of the journos a call or even an email. Thats how i organised mine. was a great expereince there and i even got an article on bucks published, was amazing. It sits proudly on my wall now

good luck mate, if you get in it will be a week you wont forget!!

Work experience week was the most pointless week of my life. I did it in an IT department in some office, I forget where, and was bored out of my mind. Although it probably serves me right for leaving it till the last minute.

I did mine with an Architect and went around with him the whole week checking out jobs and odd sites. Was great fun and got paid well too.

Then I got asked to design 3 apartments for my nan's block and she thinks she'll use them or one of them for her site. I will be chargin the king's ransom if she takes it.

Also if you want the money then tradies are the place to go. My mates all went to work with my dad and he gave $200 bucks a week which I guess is alright for not doing much....

also if you can't get a gig with journalism for the week then maybe try Cricekt Austrlia or Cricket Vic or even a couple of AFL clubs? That's if you want to do something "sporty."
