My work experience placement at ResoLex showed itself to be a valuable and fun insight into the professional world. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience of meeting different employees in both one-on-one scenarios and group discussions. The structure of the day allowed for six different meetings where I had the opportunity to discuss their roles, responsibilities and career trajectories. I also had the chance to discuss my future with employees, including Jay, who studied business management, which I’m also planning to study after my A levels.
I loved coming to London and getting an understanding/ experience of business culture, which I feel was especially prominent in a small company like ResoLex. Not only do I feel more educated and confident in a business environment, but I also now look forward to working in one. I was given a busy, structured schedule full of a range of different meetings, both online and in person, including a group meeting where I was encouraged to share ideas and got to witness how professional meetings are conducted. Everyone that I had the pleasure of speaking to seemed to take a high interest in my time and reason for being there, which hugely contributed to why I enjoyed and learnt so much from my day here.
Overall, I deeply appreciate the time and effort put towards my day. It’s rare that students are given opportunities outside of simple tasks or shadowing others during work experience, with many spending their time not engaging in any actual activity. However, I was kept busy the entire day thanks to the team at Resolex and have genuinely gained so much from it.
Thank you, everyone.
