Your work experience co-ordinating teacher should be helping you with this. Employers will only take those who come with school help and references.

It's not the same but you can try the abc as well.

You could enquire at your local MP's office or try legal - a law-firm for example.

You school school should have some co-ordinator that should be helping you as well, although I did media experience and legal (both last year) and my co-ordinator didn't help at all but thats different circumstances. Really though, don't stress out too much about it. Most people get pretty boring work experience in yr.10 that have nothing to do with the careers they're working towards/have. Still apply for things and if you get something then great but what you do in that week (or two) really doesn't matter.

There are plenty of employers who offer work experience, but the majority will only accept those who arrange it through their careers coordinator at school. Maybe some, like Sheila, will accept cold calls, but it is best and safest to go through your school, and ensure you get the correct payment, and OH&S protection. As far as in Human Resources, that is a total dead end job, all you will be able to do with one of them as work experience is make or collect the tea and coffee and run errands.
