Also, competition for work experience placements is high too. With the recession a lot of people are doing work experience and voluntary work to boost their CVs.

It wont be a walk in the park. When I did mine I found a placement through some connexions website. They should help you. maybe you could class voluntary work as work experience?

It’s getting harder because it cost so much money! Someone has to look after you that means they can't do their own job fully. If your anywhere but an office they have to provided safety gear PPE, In an office you are tacking a PC or desk space out of productive use. The list goes on!

As Spud says your best chance is with friends business. Or somewhere they don't treat the employs well!

Good Luck!
