Don't schools and colleges teach young people how to prepare for and ask for, work experience? </p>
<p>OK, this is how you do it! Six Top Tips</p>
<p>1. Think what you (the person enquiring) can offer us (the employer)<br>
2. Don't focus on what we ought to be doing for you (it's the reverse)<br>
3. Be polite - remember we are doing you a favour!<br>
4. Be ready to negotiate dates and times<br>
5. Bring your CV along & anything else you think we might want to look at<br>
6. PLEASE research us first - most organisations (if not all) have websites!</p>
