Community Service
On Monday the 4th of December I began my community service in a Sue Ryder charity shop in the recycling centre . When I went in I met with the woman who ran the charity shop. The shop was small and there wasn't much to do there other than sorting out books on the shelves and putting out any new toys the charity shop had received. On my second day there I was tasked with clearing out the back room and tidying anything not being used and putting it up into the upstairs room. It took a long time but the back room was spotless when I was finished. The next three days I didn't have much to do other than fixing books and CDs on the shelves but I got to help customers and tidy up allot of the books on the shelves and they had allot of books. I wouldn't like to work there as all the work I did there was very repetitive but the people I worked with were nice and taught me how to do anything I didn't know how to do.
Online Marketing 1
On Monday the 11th of December I began my work experience with an online marketer. On the first day the WiFi was down so there was nothing he could show me about online marketing so I helped out in the shop. On the second day the WiFi was out for half the day so when we got the internet back he showed me how to use Facebook to market products. On the third day he showed me how to use Photoshop to create flyers. Early the next morning the shop got broken into. Whatever the robbers had done had caused the WiFi to go out again so i wasn't able to do much but I tried to practice Photoshop.
I enjoyed the small bit of marketing I did but unfortunately I had chose the worst week to do my work experience there.

Christys
On the 26th of February everyone in forth year began there work experience. I worked in a bar/lounge called Christys. I arrived into work at 11:30 and I was then straight away tasked with bringing in the bottle bins and filling up the ice buckets. When I had finished I started to clean the glasses this took me the rest of the day as there was so many glasses. The next day I had to clean the glasses again but i only had to do this until lunch time. I was then put out onto the floor to tidy away plates and glasses and I also served people food in the restaurant. on Wednesday there was a large funeral in at 12:30 that meant that we were all busy for the entire day. I had to serve their food and tidy away any finished glasses and plates. On Thursday it was very quiet because everyone was expecting snow because of the red warning.
I liked working here and I ended up getting a job here.

Online Marketing 2
On the 9th of April I was supposed to start my work experience in Knite Frank in Dublin. Unfortunately he was not able to take me week so I went to my dads shop instead and I did work experience with Jonathan who does the online marketing for the shop. He showed me how to use Wordpress to create a website. This took the whole day to complete and was very difficult to understand. The next day I learned how to write HTML and CSS. I learned how to write a lot of HTML but not a lot of CSS because there is so much HTML to learn and I needed to understand that befour learning CSS. On the last day I was able to write a small bit of a website. I enjoyed doing this as it was something I have never done befour and I got to learn how websites are made.
