A Day In The LifE... Sabrina Moore
How a chance to take work experience has given a Sabrina Moore real-life insights and a leg-up on thinking about her future career
I gained a lot of skills, for example
promotional, research and communicational skills, and also learnt a lot about some of the roles within the company and how everyone in the business works together.
I
was first introduced to CarWow by Julia Muir, a guest speaker who had visited my
school at the beginning of the year from the charity Speakers for Schools. She has made a name for herself in the automotive industry and I was inspired by her message as it encouraged me and other students my age to aim high. She had expressed her passion for the automotive industry as it provides a wide variety of opportunities for young people, especially encouraging girls in particular to consider a career in the automotive business. After the talk she helped make it possible for me to access a short work experience placement with CarWow.
CarWow is a new business that offers customers a new way of buying cars where you are able to see offers from the best dealers across the UK. When I found out I had the opportunity to have experience for a week I was excited to find out more about what the Company do and how it runs.
Throughout my experience I was introduced to the different departments within the company and under took many jobs. For example, I helped the Market Development Manager by researching large independent

used car dealerships across the UK that the company could use, as well as helping the marketing team find different ways to promote the business such as through merchandise and large event holding.
The whole experience at CarWow was amazing and I met some lovely people! The team at CarWow were extremely friendly and welcoming. I gained a lot of skills, for example promotional, research and communicational skills, and also learnt a lot about some of the roles within the company and how everyone in the business works together.
My experience at CarWow made me sure that I want to pursue a career in the automotive business and how I would love to be part of a team similar to that of CarWow.
In my opinion, I truly believe that having work experience is valuable and is a good step to introducing you to working life. I personally think it is a good way to get an understanding of the career you may want to consider in the future.
