Tillie
Hi, guys. It’s Tillie here. I’m sixteen and I’m from Scarborough and I’ve just finished work experience with the Nine to Five.
Tillie
Bakr…
Bakr
So, sorry!!
Tillie
I guess I don’t normally like being wrong, probably because I am normally right!
Tillie
I literally told you that.
Tillie
I’ve learnt to be a lot more open minded being thrown into the working world was a lot harder than I expected it to be.
Tillie
I just want to get through and get it over and done with and then I don’t have to do it anymore.
Tillie
I managed to master skills that are completely alien to me. I learnt it’s not the end of the world if I don’t achieve perfection. It’s easier just to go with the flow and less stressful.
Ricky
There’s not many people I meet of your age who are saying that they have a desire to become an MP.
Tillie
My ambition is to make a difference in the world.
Tillie
So, watch out Westminster.
Tillie
And I know that I’m not always right.
Tillie
I just don’t like the idea of not being right.
Ricky
If you can listen to all people’s opinions, then you’re going to be a more powerful leader
Tillie
I learnt to step back and let others take lead. In retrospect, I felt like I was too quiet at the beginning, but in doing so I learnt many valuable lessons.
Stacey
It must be slightly frustrating for you because you weren’t actually the one banging the bonnet.
Tom
Do you think you should have said something to them?
Tillie
I did, but it’s fine.
Bakr
I’m just really sorry, because I feel like I am at fault and it’s something you realise after.
Tillie
Sometimes you have to take responsibility, even if it’s not entirely your own fault.
Ellie
No no no, don’t empty…
Sam
Ohh, we gotta speed up…
Tillie
I was kind of hoping I had full pay, cos I like, tried really hard today, but…
Chris
Relying on Sam a bit too much.
Tillie
I was absolutely fuming about today. I actually am. It’s just a bit irritating, isn’t it when you’ve put a hundred percent into something and you don’t get a hundred percent out of it.
Tillie
The boss is looking for a mature response with a willingness to carry on and do better next time.
Tillie
Never stress over cheese.
Tillie
Cheese takes away the stress in life.
Tillie
When it came to cheese, one of my favourite things in life, I had a very difficult lesson to learn.
Jean
Flip over with your hand, and go like that.
Tillie
I physically like can’t do that.
Tillie
It was embarrassing seeing Jean being able to flip the cheeses so easily when I couldn’t, but those cheeses were so heavy and I’ve never done anything like that before.
Stacey
Oh girl. Don’t get upset, don’t get upset.
Stacey
Come and have a chat with me. Come over here.
Tillie
I’m annoyed because I can’t do it.
Stacey
Why are you so emotional?
Tillie
It’s just you get frustrated with yourself, cos you can’t physically do something. And then you feel like you’re letting the whole team down.
Tillie
I learnt to feel comfortable with asking for help. Sometimes you need support to make sure the job gets done.
Tillie
I got thirty three pounds, full pay. Thank you, but I wasn’t really expecting it.
Jean
Well, you certainly deserved it. You’ve put all your oar into it and turning those cheese. I think you’ve done a very good job.
Tillie
Although I wasn’t perfect, I still put a hundred percent into everything I did.
Ricky
This isn’t a task that I thought that you’d look like you’re enjoying.
Tillie
No… It’s quite… It’s like um, a bit like, well it is art, isn’t it?
Tillie
I really surprised myself at the boat yard, umm, I really enjoyed the job I was given.
Tillie
It all just like fits into one, like it just looks perfect.
Tillie
And my dad’s talent of being a joiner clearly passed down to me, I mean if he needs an assistant, he knows who to call.
Norman
Some of the joints on that drawer were really good and if I was to try and match them with some of the guys in here, I couldn’t really tell the difference. So we were really pleased with that. And you are the type of people that I would like to apply to Oyster yachts in the future.
Tillie
But I was really taken aback when I got full pay and they said they would be happy to take me on that really did surprise me and I was very proud of myself.
Tillie
I’d like to be an MP when I’m older. We are in a participation crisis. Politics is kind of seen as now a bad thing. Instead of a good thing. We are so lucky to have the political system we have. I think it’s quite upsetting the fact that many people just can’t be bothered with it any more. To me politics is just everyone having an opinion on how to get the country the best we can be.
Tillie
The top five things I’ve learnt about having an open mind… Listen to other people’s opinions, but don’t mute your own.
Tillie
I don’t think it’s good that you’re doing it on the car.
Tillie
Take responsibility for your own actions, even if the boss sees these actions in a different way to you.
Tillie
It’s really heavy.
Tillie
You can still learn loads from things you think you hate doing.
Ellie
We did it!
Everyone
WOOAAHH!!!
Tillie
Ask for help when you need to. Don’t be embarrassed. It’s about achieving the end goal as a team.
Tillie
Bakr?
Bakr
Yeah.
Tillie
How far do you think you should come in?
Bakr
Do you want to see one of mine?
Tillie
Yeah.
Tillie
It’s great to change your minds, be open to new experiences and listen to other’s opinions. Go on. Give it a try. You’ll surprise yourself!
