WORKPLACEMENT-I need a place! (1 Viewer)

[brown_sugar]

Hey guys!
I really need a place to go for work placement. I know its workplacement and we're supposed to be given a place to go to but our skool has all these crappy places...that i really dont wanna go to! Last year was sooooooo daym boring!! I want to go somewhere good, so I'm gonna find my own..

Any good places that I can go to?

I need one real soon!! like by, early next week.. =)

Thanks u's.

 

[tooheyz]

well theres a few places u can go... umm here are a list of places which offer work placement for IT that me and my friends did

- UTS
- Many primary skools e.g. lady of mt carmal, one in granville.. and theres heaps more
- learning lab (in the city)
- supre headoffice marickville(one of my mates had the time of her life here)
- kmart
- some metal place in parra
- hmv city
- a pharmacy in blacktown

hmm... but theses were all given to us, but i am sure if you go somewhere and ask if they offer workplacement, they would consider it. you just have to ask.

jus some q's!

hey, thanks for some of the ideas! Jus wondering tho..

UTS? like wat department in UTS? is there jus like an IT department?

- supre headoffice, Marickvile- where is Marickville exactly?
is it far from parra?!

hmv city? like do work placement in the shop or is there like an IT department?!

sowiee, im asking so many q's..

 

[tooheyz]

hahah nah its kool bout the 20 questions.

uts? well thats where i am going. i havent been there as yet, but i will next week. i've visted them and ask them what i was going to do. first 2 days i will be at the boradway campus doing mixed up jobs, like cleaning up the comps and doing spreadsheets and stuff... just data entry and stuff like that. the last 3 days will be at the haymarket campus, internet, installing stuff, and yeah, just basic computer stuff. i think thats the it faculty bulding place.

marrickville? its near the city - next to ultimo. i think.

hmv city - you kinda do both i think. she was working in the it section... which was simply 2 computers. she had to update the inventory and set out orders, get on the net - stuff like that. she had to be taught how. umm.. when there was nothing to do, she worked, putting the cd's in the right place and organising them. covering the cd's with the plastic box. stuff like that. she had a good time!

umm.. i think i answered all your questions....

 

[tooheyz]

alright marricklville is about 2 stations from sydneyham.

 

[brown_sugar]

thanks! I called most of the places u listed..but no luck! they all have some1 in that week!

I got work placement not next week but the week after, so its in 2 wks..

so i guess they're all are taken..still looking for one tho..

 

[tooheyz]

really? have u tried uts? i've asked my supervisor and they said YEAH. (????)

well depends on what u want to do and where u want to go. just visit all the places u want to go and ask them. there's an it department in almost every business.

well all the best

Hey thu,

I have do to so triple the amount of hours for work placement this year because of my stupid Certificate III in IT.

I am trying to find another place, and when u mentioned UTS i thought sick!.... Seeing as i wish to go there probably nex year i thought it was a good opportunity...


so therefore 20 more questions...

How did you apply?
Who should i call to start Work placement there?
Have you heard anything much about it - how good it is?
What are they offering?

I guess mainly how would i be able to start work placement there for my IT course.

Thanks

Thanks Tooheys!!

Thanks Tooheys!
heyyy tooheys! Thank u soo much! I found work placement @ UTS!
I didnt try there before becuz I assumed that it wouldnt have any vacancy, but then since u said they do. I called and i was lucky that april was the only one not taken! =) They only take one student per month!

You're goin next week right?! me goin straight the week afta u!
Let me know how it goes, k?!

I have no idea wat campus or anything im goin to..i told my teacher to call her today..or i'll call her again

do u know wat time ur starting/finishing? wat campus, etc?

hehe k..i'll stop there..
let me know..
Hope u have a good time!!


btw i posted this msg as a new thread by accident..lol..oops!

 

[tooheyz]

hahaah no worries!
glad to hear that you got workplacement at UTS! you're gonna have a good time!

well there's alot of stuff that you do. if you do the same thing as me, its gonna be pretty tiring and sometimes... BORING!

you'll learn about UTS and its background, its campouses an their 'Hierarchy' [hmmm.. did i spell that right?]. then you will do computer runs, [turning on and restarting like a billion computers in ALL campuses!! hahaha you would have to walk a fair bit]
then you will be in the itsc area where you will learn about quantum [its like a helpdesk where people ring up and say AHHH! THIS DOESNT WORK!!!]

yeah you will meet nice ppl in this area... a couple of dudes r berry and stewart.. hehehe funny dudes...

well i will let you know how everything goes and exactly all the stuff you will do soon! hahahahah - who did you get in contact with when u rang them up? jessica or maria?

let me know.

 

[brown_sugar]

heyy tooheys!
how did ur first day go? Hope u had fun! =)
What kinda stuff did u do?

I spoke to Maria. She told me the first day I'm going to broadway, the tower building..
how far is UTS from central station..is broadway easy to find?

ok, ttyl =)

 

[tooheyz]

oh nah workplacement was last week! hahah but yeah it was the best! i had the time of my life!
though my supervisor gave me some bad, BAD, really EVIL FEEDBACK.. LOL thats why i havent given in my workplacement report to my teacher just yet..

this was what she wrote...

SHE IS VERY CAPABLE, HOWEVER SHE IS MORE INTERESTED IN SOCIALISING THAN LEARNING. SHE IS VERY KEEN BUT IS EASILY DISTRACTED.

LOL now tell me that is evil! LOL but its alright, i got 4 other good comments which contradicts what she said.

nah the tower bulding isnt far from UTS. thats where i spent all my time... well most of it. if you dont know the way there let me know, as i can show u round n escort u there if ur afraid ur gonna get lost.

just let me know! LOL just make sure u tell me what stuff u do when u do end up going!

yeah... just one thing... stay away from the guys! they will talk to you...and you will to get back feedback LOL

 

[brown_sugar]

Heyya!!
awww, im glad u had a great time
hahaha, u been a social butterfly aye..lol
who was hte one who wrote ur comments?
was it Maria?
I think she's the one who's gonna be in charge of me ? is she nice? i've only spoken to her once, she seems alright!
ahh dont worry about comments..socialising is good..lol
but i'll memba not to do it 2 much..hehe =) But she wrote some good comments too,so tha's good
umm im thinking of goin to UTS on sat, not inside the building , but jus to the builing. I jus want to know how to get there, coz i could soo imagine me gettin lost on the first day!!
I think im gonna b spending most of time @ the tower building, like u!

Ill let u know how it goes..

 

[tooheyz]

yeah Maria only spends time with you for the first 3 hours or so. but thats it. after that you have other people looking after you and stuff. maria is never there, just for telling you the background of UTS and telling you all the stuff u r gonna do for the week. she'll give u this kool notepad and pen.. and uts diary n stuff. pretty groovy

yeah the b*itch who gave me that comment was JULIE, she's the manager of the helpdesk place... yeah hopefully she wont give u a nasty comment as well
LOL

yeah if u see berry, [an asian guy] tell him that tooheyz said hey and yeah.. flex your muscles when you see him! LOL he'll tell u the story!

but yeah.. did u get the instructions... GO THE ELEVATOR 2 OR 6 TO GO TO 9?

yeah that was the hardest part in going to UTS,.... the elevators r packed and they take a million years to arrive!
hahaha

yeah but all in all - you'll have a blast~!!
