Work experience is one of those necessary evils that everyone seems to dread. I still remember my various experiences, on one occasion de-veining raw prawns for an entire day, with a shudder. On the other end of the scale the ‘baby sitters’ have the same feeling – it always seems to be an inconvenience. Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be unbearable. How does this relate to marketing your business? Read on.
