Sorry guys, I haven't had the chance to update my blog in ages so hopefully I'll be able to fix that over the next few weeks!
For my work experience I initially wanted to go somewhere to do with art. I tried contacting many different places but I couldn't get a reply, so I started looking at local places. Eventually a got an email from the Springfield Hotel in Leixlip saying that they would be happy for me to work with them for a week.
Day 1: I was nervous going in for my first morning. Another girl from my school called Emma was going to the same hotel so I was happy not to be alone. When I went in I met up with the head waitress, Caroline and another girl on work experience called Clíondha. It was a nice first day. We cleaned up around the bar area and learned to make and serve tea and coffee to customers. At the end of the day we had to set up two of the function rooms which took a while for it to be perfect.
Day 2: Today was very busy. We had a funeral party and a confirmation around the same time. I was working around the bar area taking orders and cleaning up after them.
Day 3&4: These days were alot less busy but were more fun. I polished cutlery and glasses. I was allowed work behind the bar more serving tea and coffee as well as serving minerals.
Day 5: My last day was really busy. We had a wedding that day. My job was to help clean and polish all the cutlery. We also helped set up the function room where the ceremony was taking place. It was very sad leaving the hotel and saying goodbye to all the lovely staff.
The Springfield Hotel was a very good work experience but I won't recommend it for people that aren't interested in that line of work.
