MY WORK EXPERIENCE BLOG

BY KAREN JONES

This is my third week of work experience, and I have another

three weeks to go. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m so glad I

decided to do it. I’ve already learnt a lot about banking, but

it’s so much more than that – I’ve travelled half way across

the world, made friends for life, improved my personal

skills and self-confidence and had my first taste of

independence!

I graduated from university last year with a degree in Maths. I

really didn’t know what I wanted to do after that, so I needed

some time to think about my future career. When I first saw the

advert for this project, I didn’t think it was for me. London,

UK, is a long way away from Hong Kong, where I’ve lived

my whole life. How would I manage without my family and

friends? I talked about it with my parents, and in the end I

decided to apply. To my surprise, I got in – and by then it was

too late to change my mind!

I’m not earning much, of course, because it isn’t a real job.

The project pays for my expenses and gives me some pocket

money too. I only had to pay for the airfare, so really it’s quite

a good deal. My parents are coming out to see me when I

finish and we’re going to spend a week sightseeing. I’m

looking forward to that because I love seeing new places and

meeting new people.

This has been a great adventure for me, and I’ve discovered a

lot about myself – including the fact that banking isn’t really

the profession for me! I have, however, found out what I really

love – and that’s travelling! So I think that’s where my career

lies.

1. Karen is about halfway through her work experience.
