For any new graduate or someone looking to change career, one of the most important things for their CV is relevant work experience. Getting the right type of work experience is vital, as many companies will simply ask their interns to make tea/coffee, hand out the post etc. However, it is essential that people on work experience ask their employer for more responsibility and tasks that will challenge them, giving a realistic portrayal of working life in that industry. Ensure that the tasks they give you will be transferable to your CV because at the end of the day that is the reason why you are doing it in the first place. Two weeks is regarded as the minimum amount of acceptable work experience, with a month being the standard but it can range to up to six months.
And you never know if you make the right impression on your work experience it might even land you a job at the end of it.
