You

Hello I am a fifth former at Wolverhampton Grammar School trying to organise a Work Experience Placement. Is there anyone there who could help me?

The company

Yes, how can I help you?

I am thinking of a career in _________________ and am thinking of doing _______ , ___________ and ______________ at A level, but I would rather like to see what the career is like first hand before I make any final decisions.

We do our Work experience after our GCSE exams, from the nth June to the nth of July. Do you know whether it would be possible to do some Work Experience at you company for one or two weeks?

If answer is yes

Thank you very much, which week would be most convenient ? (if only want 1 week)

Would it be possible to do the full two weeks there ? (if want both weeks)

If answer is no

Do you have any opportunities at any other times?

If answer is yes

Arrange something in summer holidays - not in induction week.

If answer is still no

OK, thanks very much for your help anyway.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE RUDE OR SARCASTIC. MANY HAVE VERY GOOD REASONS WHY THEY CANNOT TAKE STUDENTS ON
