STACEY

Hello. I am Stacey Dooley and I want to tell you about some Bitesize Careers Content that I've been making with five incredible teenagers.

LOUIS

Bing bong. Hello.

ALLINA

This is really putting me to my limit.

LOUISA

My mindset has just been upgraded.

LOUIS

Welcome to the jungle.

SHARIF

The best is yet to come.

STACEY

So they were all aged between fifteen and seventeen, had finished their exams and were at a bit of a crossroads in terms of what to do next.

LOUISA

The rejection is real right now.

ALLINA

Oh my god. What am I doing with my life?

KIERAN

Fake it till you make it.

LOUIS

Ickle bit stressful.

STACEY

We take them to four different industries to see if any of those are right for them.

SHARIF

It's my worst nightmare.

ANGELA

I think you're going to have a tough day.

MIKE

Will you become a bricklayer? I really don't think so.

LOUIS

Damn.

LOUISA

I'm going to have this negative energy the whole day.

VINCE

You're late.

KIERAN

I know, but I was...

VINCE

You're in the big wide world now.

STACEY

There were offers of genuine apprenticeships on the table for those who rose to the challenge.

MIKE

We'd like to offer you a position.

ALLINA

Bye guys.

LOUISA

You're going to make me blush.

KIERAN

Thank you.

STACEY

After a few hiccups.

MIKE

Rubbish. Rubbish.

LOUIS

I'll have to quit. Hand in my notice.

STACEY

They really did give it their all. Yes Sharif.

STACEY

Off you go.

KIERAN

You're giving people a family home, so you want to do right.

LOUIS

Hundred percent.

LOUISA

You really have to be on it?

SHARIF

Sold everything.

STACEY

Do you know, I've really enjoyed watching some of them find a trade that really excites them.

LOUIS

I'm so happy.

KIERAN

Grab it. Grab it. Grab it. Don't let it...

ASHLEY

You was a born leader.

STACEY

I am loving your energy today.

LOUIS

We all love fruit and veg. Yeah.

STACEY

I think if you set the bar low, then you're always doubting yourself. You think I can't do this.

LOUIS

I hate it when you beat yourself up about it.

ALLINA

I'm just so scared of like failure.

STACEY

But if you set the bar high, and then you smash those goals it's so rewarding.

LOUIS

So great. Thank you very very much everybody.

LOUISA

Yes. We got our first sale.

SHARIF

I passed everything.

STACEY

We've written some articles that hopefully you find helpful and also our five teens have recorded short packages just talking you through their experiences, the series. You can find it all on the Bitesize Careers website. I hope you love it. Bye.
