The Lowdown
So, here’s the deal: I’m doing work experience. In fact, I’m sitting in the office right now typing this. Let me take you back a few months.
I’m searching madly for work experience. Everywhere I want to go will either not take year 10 students, or won’t take any students. How convenient. So, after a while, my mum decides to ask one of her friends who happens to run a Human Science consultancy (IGOR Science) if I could head in there for a week to do my work experience.
For a long time, I’ve thought about the human mind and how it works, and all the different facets of our brains, and how they connect us to culture, work, and life in general, so I thought that my time at IGOR would be beneficial to any possible future career in the field of Human Science.
By the way, for those unenlightened, Human Science is similar to Psychology, but still different. They’re not interchangable terms, so I really think you should Google it, and learn. Better yet, I’ll do it for you.
So, as I was saying, my mum got me a placement at IGOR Science, and I was very pleased. Looking back, I don’t really know why, as I had no idea what I was going to be doing. Obviously, I already had prior knowledge of what Psychology actually was, so I knew vaguely what to expect, but I can’t say I expected much of what I’ve done so far. I’m quite certain it’s because what I’m doing is more in the Human Sciences field, as opposed to straight Clinical Psychology.
Basically, I’m gonna spend the week doing work experience at IGOR, and I’ll be telling you exactly what I’m doing. Well, that’s not entirely true, there’s stuff I can’t actually tell you, for various reasons, but you’ll get an idea of what exactly goes on within a Human Sciences Consultancy. Also, I won’t actually be starting from Monday, because that was about 2 days ago, but I will be writing up the stuff that I did that day within the next 24 hours or so.
With any luck, this blog will actually be a decent enough resource that it’ll actually get views, and hopefully shed some light on exactly what Human Science is, and what goes on at IGOR.
