"My work experience took place from the 25th - 29th of March. During this 40 hour week, I worked very hard to prove my skills and personal attributes with the goal of seeking employment at the end of the year. Within my week of work I completed the following tasks; Building retaining walls, digging trenches and laying turf. Halfway through the week my host employer Paul offered me to participate in some weekend work, which I happily agreed to. After a few more days Paul pulled me aside and offered me an apprenticeship for 2020. I was so happy and proud of myself; I shook his hand and thanked him very much. I look forward to the coming year in which I will take part in a 4-year apprenticeship in Landscaping. I would like to take the time to thank Paul and his team at Petersen Landscapes very much for this opportunity".                  

"At Ray White in Albion Park I had the best experience and I loved it. I helped them make some sales brochures for different houses (picking photos, helping them write the text to describe the houses etc..). On different days of the week, I went out with some of the girls to do some house inspections which was fun and interesting to see what some of the different houses look like. I helped them post some things on the internet e.g. open house times for Saturday 6th of April and advertisements to go in the Illawarra Mercury which was so much fun as I loved seeing how everything worked behind the scenes and how much work goes into different things that they make and how much time is put into it. On Friday I did some filing which was great as I haven't really done filing before so I got to learn how to do that and I also made up the times for the open houses for the next day and helped them stick them on the open house pointer signs to show which way to go, what address and the time/s. On Friday I took in a present that I made up for them to thank them for having me, which they loved. I had such a great, fun and interesting week around some lovely awesome people.  I am hoping to secure a full time Traineeship in Real Estate, as this is definitely something I would love to do especially at the Ray White in Albion Park because I felt so happy and welcome in their workspace. I also made some new friends whilst working there".
