There's nothing worse than when you've just brought a nice shiny new pair of shoes and the first step they take, you get someone step onto your big toe. When i was at school i remember some kids would stamp on your shoes when they saw that you had brought new ones...Kids can be so cruel. Infact while i'm on the subject of brutal feet attacks...i was in Asda the other night looking for the bloody egg aisle when some donut rams their trolley in my heel. Still hurts now!
But the idea of this post isn't to make you a more considerate supermarket shopper (although to kill two birds with one stone is always nice). I was inspired to write this post whilst out in a club on Saturday night. I was walking from the toilet, the bar was full and trying to get to the other side of the room was kinda like trying to get to the front of a Take That gig after turning up ten minutes late. I accidently stood on some poor girls feet, she was the smallest timide girl you've ever seen and ofcourse she was wearing shoes that consisted of some tiny string tied around holding on a sole to the underneath of her foot, so a fat knacker like me stepping on her foot paralysed her...not literally, there was no need for an Ambulance but she did pull one of those 'Ouch, that f-ing hurts you donut' faces.
So now you know where the inspiration has come from here's the content and i think it applies for whether your just doing some work experience or your the Programme Controller. Don't step on anyones toes. This is something i think is too easy to do, especially when your new and your just being really enthusiastic and trying to impress.
In the past it's often been said me to that you've got to look really keen when doing work experience, 'offer help in anyway you can think of' they would say. I think it's important to show that your keen but remember that these people giving you the work experience have a job to hold onto, bills to pay, kids to support and new Ted Baker shirts to buy. If they feel threatened by you you'll soon find yourself in the dark.
I'm not saying don't be keen, i think it's good to regularly say 'I don't mind doing that for you' but just bear it in mind.
