what work experience did you intake in order to secure a degree apprenticeship and was it tailored to your desired field

I had a a bit of work experience at a small firm local to me and also worked/volunteered for my local football club so neither of those tailored to the field I work in. However work experience isnt a huge thing its more the skills you have developed or learnt (with or without work experience). Some examples of those skills being teamwork, communication, how you work under pressure, how quickly you adapt and learn. That just touches the surface of it but overall work experience is not as significant as you might think, though I would suggest trying to get some as it can help you personally swell as your CV.
