subject: Have you ever had a work experience student ? [print this page] The best ones usually stay 3 or 4 weeks and the ones that dont like our culture or the work we do generally last about 1 week. In any case we always get a nice gift from them when they go. And if we feel that they have performed a great job we are more than happy depending on the work load to offfer them a job; so its a real win win situation.
