Week Twoooooo

Hey guys,

So this week I returned to the fabulous spa for my second day of work experience.  It provides swimming facilities, treatment rooms for waxing, massages and day spa packages. There is also a Gym, Pilates room, and a hairdressers. Personal training and swimming lessons are also provided in the Spa.

I began day two of work experience at an earlier time of 9 o clock. My first job was to hoover the gym and wipe down the machines. When I finished I lit candles in the relaxation room and got another treatment room ready for a client. Afterwards, I was shown how the reception area works. I was shown how to book appointments and deal with payments and clients when they arrived. I then wiped down the glass and mirrors in the Gym.

Throughout the day I collected towels from the changing rooms and other areas. I brought these to a back room and replaced them with packages of fresh towels. I then folded these and stocked up the reception desk regularly. I cleaned up the pool area, neatening relaxation chairs and sweeping up the leaves that had blown in from the outdoor JACUZZI area! 

Lunch:
At 1:00pm I had my lunch. A staff kitchen is provided for the staff although that was closed this week so I ate in the staff kitchen at reception with one of my supervisors. We get along very well and I learnt about the college courses and degrees needed for this kind of job. When lunch was over I was introduced to another one of my main supervisors, Rob. He is qualified in giving treatments and personal training.

From 2:00pm until 3:00pm I was left to man the reception desk. This was a huge responsibility and my supervisors counted on me as they dealt with treatments. During this time, I answered phone calls, made coffees for clients, took down messages and dealt with payments. I also washed dishes and cleared tables. My supervisors returned and I was free to go at 3:10 pm.
 Day two of my work experience at the Spa was no less enjoyable than the last and I am eager to return in a weeks time!
