📸 A Day in the Life of a Work Experience Student 👨🏼‍💼

Today I welcomed Jack for a one-day work experience placement and gave him a very gentle introduction to the exciting world of HR.  Together we:

✔️ Drafted policies
✔️ Created job advertisements
✔️ Reviewed employment documentation
✔️ Learned a little about workplace compliance

But the real learning opportunities included:

⛽ Filling my car with diesel
🥧 Conducting extensive research into the best sausage roll in town
🏀 Monitoring the NBA Finals (purely for educational purposes, of course)
🤔 Listening to his favourite aunty share her endless wisdom on life, business and everything in between

For someone who only dipped his toe very shallowly into the HR world today, Jack packed a lot into one day. Whether he leaves inspired to pursue a career in Human Resources remains to be seen, but I am confident he’s now significantly more qualified to identify a quality sausage roll (FYI the school canteen still winning this contest) and discuss NBA Finals statistics 😜

Thanks for spending the day with me, Jack. I loved having you along and hope you enjoyed seeing what goes on behind the scenes, even if the NBA and lunch scouting may have been the highlights! Enjoy your preferred work experience placement of a Physio from tomorrow onwards 🫶🏼
