Week 3 – work experience

Not dissimilar to the previous two weeks I have been waiting for news of my PVG to go through and am yet to do any practical work experience so again feel like I’ve done a lot of waiting but there has been a bit of light at the end of the tunnel this week.

In my last blog post I wrote about how I had emailed my adviser Craig in order to put my name down for a volunteering opportunity but had done so later on a Friday so hadn’t heard back from him yet. In my comments Romie had advised that if I didn’t hear back from him on Monday is should send a reminder, which is what I ended up doing and he got back to me quickly afterwards. So, I now have my place as an event assistant at the central parasport festival on the 23rd which I am excited about because although I have a bit of experience working in a sports environment I have never been involved in a festival sized event before so am interested in seeing a little bit of what goes on in the background, what it takes to run an event like this one and at this stage I don’t really know what my role will entail but look forward to finding out.

Hopefully by next week I will have my PVG through and will have a little bit more to write about having helped at the parasport festival.

Thanks for reading.
