Today we just did little jobs around the exhibition. The first one we did was taking boxes and bags to the store room whilst moving things around from one stand to another. We then had to move boxes of lanyards from the store room to the front desk and took about 900 of them out of separate clear bags and put them into a box. With all of us working together, it took us not long to do. We then had to set up posters at different

places around the exhibition. After we did that we had to look through boxes,

put show bags together, packed boxes and separated from show bags from

the right ones. At the end of the day just before we went home we had to

sit in on a meeting about OH&S and about the safety procedures for the exhibition.

4. The tools used today were; a stanley knife and a tape dispenser to open and close boxes. 5. The employability skills that we required at work placement today were

Communication, Teamwork, Problem Solving and learning. Communication

and teamwork were used a lot today especially when we had to put together

the posters. Communication was also used when we were separating the

lanyards and taking them out of the bags as well as putting together all

the show bags and sorting through all the show bags boxes. Problem solving

was used when we had to pack all the shows bags due to the fact that we

had to do it in an ordered manner and had to come up with a plan to solve

this situation. For our last activity of the day which was the meeting; we took

down some notes and found out some information that was very important

which is where the employability skill learning took place. 6. I did not come across at difficulties or new issues that challenged me at my

work placement today. 7. The thing that was most enjoyable today was that we got to do something that

was different to what we did yesterday, it made us feel involved in the exhibition.

The meeting was really good as we got a good understanding of the procedures

and we got treated we respect and like we werent school students but were

actually exhibitors.

8. Tomorrow is the first day of the show so we will have a lot of work to do.

We will be handing out show bags as well as walking around the exhibition with

handheld scanners that when their name tag is scanned it will collect their

information.
