My Second Work Experience at QCS Staffing: Will Broome
During my work experience that I have returned to again, I
experienced a lot of useful, fun, and helpful situations throughout the week.
This is from QCS Staffing being a fun but hard-working environment that I couldn’t
resist experiencing again!
I am now 16 and studying at sixth form and I am very
grateful for the week that QCS Staffing have provided me with and to meet all the
lovely people that work here.
Why I chose QCS Staffing
Before the week started, I understood that QCS Staffing had a great environment and got to experience it myself first hand, they offered such a good and important opportunity and lived up to the high expectations.
I appreciate how much effort they put in to making my work experience week interesting and helpful and although I only had a week, I learned so much and wish I could of stayed for longer.
What did my week involve?
I started off the week by meeting lots of new people and others that I have met before. I was introduced to the company by Iasmin who was very nice and helpful, she then took me around the building and had me meeting and introducing myself to everyone who works at QCS Staffing.
I then began with an introduction to the IT system with Shay who walked me through all the useful tips which will help me get through the week, for example; how I use LinkedIn and find my diary in my calendar for the week etc, which is two very important things to know as I needed to keep a close eye on all my introductions and shadowing sessions I had throughout the week. I then met Kiran who went through the tasks I needed to complete by the end of the week and described clearly what I had to achieve, I found these tasks very interesting and a challenging task which kept me focused.
I found the week very fun but challenging as they set me realistic but achievable work tasks. Throughout the week I met with people in different areas within the business and they all gave me introductions to how their sector differs from others and what they specialise in. This gave me an idea on what part I preferred the most and which I may want to pursue in the future.
What I learned during my experience
This week I was at QCS Staffing I learned a lot of new skills and key information, this included, time management, IT/computer skills and what each team within QCS Staffing specialises in. This important knowledge is not only key within QCS Staffing but is also in most other business and real-life situations which is why I found my work experience helpful and useful.
How this will help with my future
QCS Staffing gave me a good feel as to what I’ll experience in the future when it comes to me getting a full-time job this was from:
- The full-length days,
- The timed scheduling,
- The challenging / realistic tasks.
This experience will help me in the future as I won't be as worried going into a new job as I'll have more experience and be in a more familiar working environment.
The new skills I learnt from this week will also help me significantly, this is through me being able to now plan ahead and keep on top of the work I’ve been set. I am now able to use IT equipment better and use the different apps to help with the workload which will be key in my future in all types of situations.
My overall experience
I am very impressed how the week went, and I thank everyone who was involved in making my work experience, not only helpful but also enjoyable as well.
- Even when I wasn’t working and in my break times, I was able to go out for lunch and play table tennis which was obviously a fun thing to do, getting to know everyone in the business as well as I got to spend a lot of time with them.
- But overall, I found this experience amazing, and I would love to be back at QCS Staffing in the future!
