I'm still struggling to get a decent full time job 9 months after uni in the sector I want to work in so am thinking of sending off a few emails asking for work experience. Anyone got any experience with how to approach it and not get used?
In reality i'm not going to be able to do what I really want to get into because it would cost the company too much money (medicals/industry training and travel costs) but hopefully a bit of work experience in an office at least, which I can then add to an internship I did whilst at uni. I'm thinking of asking for expenses but not an actual wage and stating some how that i'll work a maximum of 4(?) weeks unpaid, then either leave or start being paid, just not sure how to word it properly. Expenses would probably include rent/use of a flat/apartment which may put some companies off?
So yeah anyone done this? It seems there are quite a few graduates thinking about/doing the same thing at the moment..
