I'm working at QVB for my work experience. Just retail - nothing interesting. All the good places were either busy, gone or not interested. I originally wanted to work at MCA but you had to apply a year earlier. :mad1:

Im hoping if i can do it at Amnesty International ! But i called them and they said they dont think they have a work experience program and then she said she'll transfer me someone whos know more of this stuff. But then something happened and they phone line hanged up on me. ==' Purrrrfect ! Wells i called all these human rights organisation in Australia and they generally were no help and had a mixed response though the organisation 'getup' is quite positive about giving me a position but... its more like a 'activist' organisation then human rights kinda thing. I needa call amnesty again. =='

Work Experience Program - Department of Defence

thats the site....some pretty cool stuff on offer if you're interested...

Work experience for me was at Macquarie Uni in the Psychology Dept.

It boiled down to attending lectures (which the Work Experience supervisor didn't keep a tight watch, over so quite many lectures were missed), and occasionally a staffer giving a tour.

omg! why didn't I think of that?
Kinokuniya is probably the best book store I know

I'm doing mine at Chemist Warehouse
Sigh, I wanted to go to Kinokuniya, but someone was already booked... Your block release didn't happen to be in the first week of June, did it?

law firms?
also try csiro....i know that when you do work experience there they do hands-on stuff with you..
I work experienced @ the CSIRO Materials Science + Engineering site in Lindfield, and I loved it; a lot of hands-on stuff as sikhman said.

I highly recommened prospective work experience people to consider that place.

Taronga Zoo.

I reckon it's worth it if you like animals, enjoy 5 free days at the zoo, and like the 3 hour breaks to explore it.

But yeah... after the first 3 days, it becomes pretty much a bore.
Don't go to the Bird Division... they make you wash plates and buckets =[
I heard the Reptile Division is fun though.

I'm doing mine at an American style cheerleading gym :D

I'm pretty sure I am probably the first person to do this in Australia, which I think is pretty cool.
