    For my work experience placement I worked at the Wilkinson's store in Luton Arndale Centre.

    I really didn't enjoy myself and I think it was really pointless. I feel work experience should be worthwhile, but for me personally at Wilkinson's I didn't learn anything new.

    During the day I worked from 9am until 5pm stacking shelves and pricing up products. I got a morning break, lunch hour and an afternoon break which was very good! Some of the time I was able to work on the customer help desk in the store.

    Working in Wilkinson's is definitely not something I would consider doing in the future, as I really disliked the experience. I wasn't given much responsibility and got bored very easily during the day.

    I don't feel my work experience was worth while and I didn't really learning anything about work or myself!
