Work experience advice

Increasingly, work experience is vital for you to get a foot in the door. As a bit of a warning to you - most job seekers have some form of work experience whether voluntary or paid. It can also be very useful as a means of earning money while you study, and as we said above can give you a head start over less experienced applicants when applying for jobs. Time and time again, students also rate work experience as the single most helpful factor in choosing how and where to start work.

Work experience can take many forms, including placements of up to a year, projects, vacation work, part-time work, voluntary work, work shadowing, and getting involved in student activities on campus.

Within the health and fitness industry there are always positions that you can take during your summer term or in a gap year - but again it's knowing where to look and who to contact.
