Week 1:

When i arrived in Boots in Maynooth, myself and the two others who were work experience in Boots too were introduced to all the staff and met the manager once again. they were very friendly. The sales manager showed us the locker room were we put our belonings and coats. She then brought us to the canteen.

We then waited here for the Manager Ken. When he arrived he told us a few points about boot and a think called shrink - this is stealing in all forms and doing certain things that could possably reduce the profit of the shop. We then watched a 15 minute DVD about shrink. I learnd a lot of new information THAT I DIDNT RELISE ACTUALLY HAPPENED BEFORE.

When the DVD was finished Ken told us all the rules, regulations and helth and saftey guidelines. We then filled out a form about those items. He told us the fire regulatons eg. the fire exits etc. Ken then brought us down to the shop floor and gave us a tour of the store. Were everything was and the layout. He also showed us the skock room etc.

I was then shown the beauty and make up department and the girls who worked there. They had just got a delivery in so myself and another girl were asked to help out with this. We sealed all the new make up and then placed them out on the selves.  This took us up till lunch at 12.00.

When we came back from lunch I finished off the job in the makeup area and I was asked to place perfume - a new order into the stock room. After this I walked around the shop and tidying everything, pulling forward and helping customers with anything they needed. 

Then I went to the storage area and untangled alarms. After this I was asked t read a short piece on the computer about helth and safety then to take a short test on what I had learned. Then it was time to go home!

I enjoyed my day working, I learnt a lot about how a shop works and how its set up. It was very different to my last work experience and I was quite tired after the day. All interactions with were good.

I have now started my second term of work experience in Boots Maynooth! !

We had to draw,paint and cut out the pictures etc for the class room.We completed these and the two teacherswere very happy with the finished product! this took us till Lunch time to finish.

Week 6!!

This Wednesday was the 6th week of work experience! I cant believe how fast it has gone, only for weeks left! this was the first week back after mid-term

.
Today, when I came into the classroom all the girls were sitting in different places because that had all changed places after the mid term. It was hard to remember all the names of the girls because I knew them by where they sit but i eventually got use to it!!

In the morning, I went around each girls desk first giving them notes for home and then cut out characters for their homework. While i was doing this the principal came done and asked would she be able to take me to do the book Fair with the other girl in working experience. I was really delighted to do it!
When I wasn't helping at the book fair in the hall I was helping the junior infants in whatever the were doing and did some art with them also!
During the day myself and the other tys managed the book fair. We looked after the payment of books,order of books and helping all the students find books they wanted. We basically ran a small book store for a day!! I really like being the book fair women lol :) I really enjoyed this. I learnt many new skills such as money management. 
Today was another enjoyable day, I really enjoyed helping out with the Book Fair!
