Southampton Airport
Address: Southampton, Hampshire SO18 2NL
I applied for work experience at Southampton Airport because
believed I would fit the role well as I currently have good customer service
skills which I have developed through my current employment at Haskins Garden
Centre. When I applied for the Southampton Airport work experience in January
2016 I wrote a covering letter which was attached to my CV. 
This is a transport based organisation within the travel and
tourism industry and has a few roles of which I could see myself being able to
do successfully. The job roles at the airport which I could see myself doing
are; Airport Ambassador, the Airport Volunteer and Check in as these are very
customer based and through my current skills of being a Student Ambassador at
college and while working currently at Haskins Garden Centre and my previous
job at McDonald’s. I could use my skills learnt through these to help me in
these job situations. Another job role at the airport which I would also enjoy
doing would be working in the security section of the airport as passengers go
through customs. I believe that this would be a good learning experience as it
would include interacting with all passengers that come through the airport and
dealing with different varieties of customers which would benefit me in the
future as the moods of customers would vary as they could be; angry, happy,
sad, emotional, scared etc. 
A
constraint of getting a work experience placement would be the transportation
of getting to Southampton Airport because I am able to get there through three
different modes of transportation; walking, bus or a train. By choosing one of
these three it would take me to the entrance of the airport. If I got the work
experience placement at Southampton Airport I would walk to the destination as
according to Google Maps it would only take me 21 minutes to walk there.The map to the right shows the distance between my house and Southampton Airport which shows the distance I will have to travel for this.
