,For my work experience I researched many departments in my local
area that involved departments such as finance and marketing. I
came to the conclusion and did my year 10 work experience in a
pharmacy named RJ’s Pharmacy based in Wembley 210 Ealing
Road,Middlesex, HA0 4QG. I worked in the finance and organisation
department. The employees were pharmacists in retail pharmacies.
They label and dispense prescribed medicines. The pharmacist takes
their time when getting prescriptions ready; they do this so
customers could wait and look around and purchase their goods
while their prescription is getting ready. They also provide
information and advice to patients about how to use their
medication. The reason why a pharmacy would do this is to increase
their sales and receive good reviews. The pharmacy itself is a store
where they sell goods such as soaps, perfume and sanitary
products.The skills which I gain from this placement would differ
because it’s different from other business. Many customers who
visited the pharmacy didn’t come with the intention of purchasing
goods but they came to collect their prescriptions.
Due to being based in a local area in Wembley employees and
customers have easy access to the store. This would be beneficial for
the business as more customers will be able to visit the store and
more purchases would be made. I was able to reach my destination
by walking or taking a public bus. If I walked to my destination it
would take me around 20min however if I take the bus it would have
taken me 12min. These both transportation methods are easy and
free therefore making travelling quick and effective. This work
placement local is suitable for me because it is safe and not far from
home.
My work placement has allowed me to learn employability skills. I
have gained the experience of working in an office in the finance and
organising department. I also learned expectations and demands
from my employers and customers and skills needed to be a
successful employee. Working in this work placement will help
develop my understanding if this is a suitable career plan for me.
Therefore, my work placement will give me the opportunity to
experience my future career. This will prepare me and help me gain
knowledge about my career path. This opportunity benefited my
career aim as I was able to learn a lot of science and business aimed
, knowledge. I would use the science information for my sports studies
and the business information for my business studies. Both this
knowledge have helped me develop understanding and skills.
Working in a pharmacy would also create a good impression on my
CV as it is a well paid job and it is knowledge based which implies
that I was able to educate myself and succeed. The skills which I
hoped to attain from the pharmacy are basic communication skills,
confidence, organisation and basic IT skills. I was able to gain good
communications skills by helping customers and directing them to
needs. At my work placement communication is an important factor.
Being able to communicate with the customers in a [proper manner
would benefit the business as customers would leave good reviews
and purchases would be made. Communicating with individuals
helped me boost up my confidence. Also being confident shows
pride in your work which employers would want. My work
placement has allowed me to learn organisational skills. This has
allowed me to expand my knowledge and understanding when
working with numbers and categorising medications. If I fail to be
organised then it will not affect me however it can affect the people
around me and the business. Working there has definitely helped me
develop new organisational skills. Furthermore, I got the opportunity
to learn basic IT skills. I learned IT skills such as searching customers'
names and working with finance.
The skills I needed for my work placement are very similar to the
skills I will require for my future career. Before entering my future
job I will need to qualify in basic skills such as hardworking,
motivated and punctual. This will be required as all jobs employers
will be
looking for these skills in an employee. My work placement will
enhance my CV. This is because my experience in the financial and
organisations department will improve my employability. It will
ensure my CV is interesting to employers. Therefore this will help me
when applying for future employment because I already have the
experience of coping in a busy environment. From this I learned the
reality of working.
