Why is Work Experience Important?
You might think that the only point of doing work experience is for CV fodder. You probably think you’ll just sit there twiddling your thumbs, or be given a stack of 2,000 envelopes to stuff, stamp and send. Although some work experience does involve doing menial tasks, it can still be very important. It allows you to develop 'transferrable skills' and to try out a career you think you might want.
