My favourite things in the world are chocolate, ice cream, stilettoes i can't walk in, the blow torch my dad can't hide, my phone that i cant use, the drums that I can't play, and my BED!
I love chatting to people on msn, poking people, and watching stupid and mildly offensive flash animations on the internet.
I also really like playing my music at ridiculous volumes and going to concerts - so far I have seen: Green day, Blink 182, Evanescence and Delirious?.

Hi,
My school doesn't do work experience but I need to do a two week work experience placement to get onto the childcare course I would like to study. So, I'm trying to organise it myself and writing letters to all the nurseries in my area asking if they can help me.
My questions are:
*Do you think they would prefer handwritten or typed letters? (My handwriting is neat)
*What goes after 'yours' when you don't know the name of the person you are writing to?
*I am studying for 21 GCSEs. Do you think I should mention this or would it make me sound like I'm showing off?
*Should I mention any of my GCSEs? For example, I know that I have to gain good qualifications in English to be a Nursery Nurse, so should I mention that I'm studying English?
Oh, and I've been to Connexions, if anyone was going to suggest them to me, and they were absolutely useless, so I'm doing this myself.
Thanks!

1. If your handwriting is neat and legible, it gives the impression that you have put more effort into the letter, and are therefore hardworking
2. If you want to say 'Yours' at the end, then the correct one is 'yours faithfully', but its also good to add in 'thankyou for your time' or 'i hope to hear from you soon'.
3. If you are studying for 21 GCSEs, it would be good to give an example of some of the grades you have been predicted in relevant subjects. If you need to gain good qualifications in English, then it would be useful to give them your predicted grade. If you haven't been predicted grades then try and mention how you think studying for a certain GCSE could benefit you if you were to do work experience for them.
I hope all that made sense, and good luck finding your work experience!
