When I was in high school, I heard that fairweather was the worst place to be in, the one in metro, the manager was a total bitch, and made you clean up and just do the dirty work, so its like getting the experiencing to broom the floor and clean up. One of my friend refused to do it haha and so she didn't show up and talked to our school consellor. it was kinda funny.

Another friend of mine did work experience at rogers video, and she got hired after a week, and to this day she's still working there, working her way up, she's been there for 3 years now and she's still likes it there which is a good thing.

I had work experience at the bank, it was boring. The manager who was suppose to watch over me went on vacation, so then I had someone else watch over me, but she didn't really care, so all i did was filing, nothing useful. They didn't teach me anything, no helping customers or trying to do teller job kinda thing.

As for trying to get the job at your work experience place, it depends if they are acutally hiring, and if they really really like you. All you have to do is try and work your hardest. And show them what you can do, and just prove to them that you are a good employee and ask questions when you are unsure. I hope that helps =)
