The world of work

This week my daughter will do five days work experience arranged for year 10 students through the school. She is going to work in quite a big hotel within walking distance of our home. Her programme is designed to give her a taste of every aspect of hotel work (new managers do exactly the same) and is as follows:

Mon: General duties in kitchen
Tues: Housekeeping (servicing rooms, etc)
Weds: Working on reception and dealing with guests' enquiries
Thurs: Serving in the restaurant
Fri: Working with a chef in the kitchen

Her uniform is ironed, her hair is washed. She has been unusually quiet today, but a determined glint in her eye suggests to me that she will be putting in 110% effort over the next five days 😊

I WISH HER BEST OF LUCK! 😍😍😍 I'm VERY proud of her myself to be honest and I know she will be an awesome worker and a total star to the restaurant! 💫💫💫 I hope she does not get too tired that way she can have a little fun when she comes home! 🥳🥳🥳 Because I was special needs in school they let me do my work experince in the actual school working with the dinner ladies so for my week of work experience I was actual cooking the food in the school! 😂😂😂 This was the year 2000 and a year later I got a small part time job as a preschool helper because I LOVE children and I stayed a preschool helper for four years until 2005 when I got my current job (for 20 years) as a receptionist in a small hospital! 😁😁😁

@MommyLucy That was fantastic work experience Lucy . . and it obviously worked! 🙂

She needs to do small work placements for her vocational qualification. She will be exhausted by the end of the week - hospitality is very hard work - but this is exactly what she wants to do and it will be great for her!
