While working at this school and being my first work placement it made me realise how I need to improve in different aspects. This work experience showed me what it is like in the working world and how I can change those aspects to improve in myself and my working life.

I took part in the Maths, English, Science and Art activities with the children.
I also took part in the playtime activities and joined in with the nursery team at meal times.
When I was working with the younger children I would be mostly playing games with them and working with the team to make sure that the younger children get their nap time.
I also observed the nursery nurse if the children hurt themselves so that I can see what happens and how they document it.
While doing my work experience at ABC Nursery, I was more confident and I was able to develop my interpersonal skills and I asked for feedback from the team I was working with on what I could work on so that I know how I can improve for future jobs. This work experience allowed me to test what I can actually do and what I can become once I have developed my skills.

While doing my work experience at Tiptree Medical Centre, I learned a great deal about how to deal with individuals who use the services and how to handle difficult requests from those who may be nervous or agitated to approach me. I learned that by staying calm and remaining confident is a must in confrontation. It is important to have a professional demeanor and help the individuals who use the service to the best of my ability despite the mood that they might be in. This is an excellent skill that I know will be useful in this position and can help me make customers happy and willing to come back over and over again.
