A Week in the Life of a Work Experience Student

My name is Abbie. I’m currently in year ten at Weatherhead High School, doing my GCSE’s in information technology, media, geography and business and communications.

This past week, I have had a wonderful time doing work experience at Elegant Address Luxury Property Group which is based in Chester City Centre. Elegant Address specialise in luxury villas and apartment rentals in the South of France. They help high wealth clients and VIPs with finding a perfect property on the French Riviera.

Elegant Address offers villas across the South of France including: Villefranche, St Jean Cap Ferrat, Mougins, Cannes, Cap d’Antibes and St Tropez. They also offer ski chalets in the French, Swiss and Austrian Alps. As well as villa rentals down the West Coast of Barbados.

On my first day at the office, everyone was very kind, accommodating and friendly, and have helped me become more confident in a work environment.

Throughout my time here, I have gotten to look at many of the villas that are available. My favourite would have to be one in St Jean Cap Ferrat as it is modern, has a swimming pool, gym, cinema, sauna and it sleeps sixteen people.

Amazing Views!

For the last couple of days, I have been writing a blog post about the South of France, this has included information about the Cannes Film Festival, the top five things to do/see on the French Riviera and the best traditional French food to try. The topic I found most interesting was the best things to do on the French Rivera, as I learnt a lot of interesting facts about the Riviera, the history and the culture.

Overall, I have had an amazing week with Elegant Address, I will take the skills I have learnt to help me in the future with jobs and in everyday life. The staff have been so welcoming and have put a smile on my face every day without fail, I can’t thank them enough for making this experience entertaining. The work I have been given has been enjoyable, and I was always looking forward to the next day.

Thank you again for this experience.
