Stacey
I am Stacey Dooley and I wanna share with you some brilliant Bitesize careers content that I've been making with five brilliant teenagers.
Layla
We're gonna hit an iceberg!
Sam
It's competition time again. I love it.
Ellie
Ahh! Oooh there's a crab.
Bakr
It's not the bonnet. It's not the bumper. Is it the grille?
Chris
It's the door.
Stacey
She got full pay.
Everyone YAAAAY!
Stacey
And having just finished their exams, really they were a bit of a crossroads in terms of what to do next.
Sam
Who you gonna call?
Everyone
Ghostbusters.
Ellie
I'll just call my mum!
Sam
How's that?!
Stacey
So I take them into four different working environments and give them the ultimate work experience.
Bakr
Tillie!
Ellie
I don't like boats any more.
Bakr
Oh!!
Tillie
Hahaha!!
Sam
I tend to think, under the bright lights, the more I tend to, tend to shine.
Stacey
And for those that jumped at the opportunity, I rewarded them with cash.
Stacey
Full pay for Layla!
Layla
Ha!!
Layla / Sam
You'll never see anything like this again!
Jean
There's a job here if you'd like it.
Ellie
Oh thank you.
Stacey
Those that failed to shine, went home empty handed.
Ellie
We've nearly dropped a grands worth of cheese just be grateful that it was only a fiver.
Ricky
You are bothered. You are the most competitive.
Tom
Guys I think you've gotta remember where we are, yeah? Y'know, I wouldn't have this from my staff.
Stacey
There were tears for some as they were pushed right out of their comfort zone.
Ellie
I don't like it.
Bakr
I did not know I'd be pushed this far physically. On this experience.
Sam
Ahh, we gotta speed up.
Ellie
It's annoying because I can't do it.
Stacey
And at times tempers flared, too.
Tillie
I was absolutely fuming about today.
Paul
Let's just get on with the job now.
Bakr
It was a really terrible job, I think. It was really, really boring.
Stacey
You have to watch your tone here Bakr.
Ellie
I cannot handle him today.
Stacey
But after a few mishaps they really did put their all into it.
Sam
Get in.
Bakr
We aced it!
Sam
For full pay. Hooray.
Bakr
Heyyy!!
Stacey
I really enjoyed watching these teens take to something that ordinarily they wouldn't have given a second thought.
Paul
That's good.
Bakr
Is that good?
Layla
I never felt this connection, as I have in this work place.
Ellie
I love butter. It's great!
Stacey
Others have overcome personal doubts. They have gained confidence and are just much more self assured.
Chris
And we'd like you to just take a supervisor role.
Layla
Ellie, Sam, Bakr. Can all three of you come here please?
Becky
And I'm looking forward to seeing more of this independent young lady.
Ellie
I wouldn't say I'm great at it, but I do enjoy it.
Stacey
Some of them discovered skills they didn't know were there and strengths they never knew they had.
Sam
There's more.
Bakr
Ohh, oh, oh! It's hard.
Chris
That's almost perfect. Well done.
Ellie
Thank you!
Chris
It's really well presented.
Layla
I feel like an empowered young female.
Sam
'Cos we met friends and we met family, thirty three pounds was our salary. I hope my family are proud of me, just taking every second and I know they are bound to be.
Stacey
We have written some articles that we really hope you will find helpful. Our teens have recorded short packages. You can find all of this on our Bitesize careers website. I really, really hope you love it.
