 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Work Experience is a 1989 short film (10 minutes) directed by James Hendrie.An affable young man named Terence (Lenny Henry) dresses up in a suit one day and goes out for job interviews. He waits patiently in a supervisor's office only to find out that the job has already been filled. Several different interviews end in failure. Finally, Terence is moping around a department store when a customer sees his suit and clean-cut appearance, mistakes him for a floor manager, and asks for assistance. Suddenly Terence is helping customers, carrying bags, manning the cash register, and performing all the duties of a job he doesn't have.

 And the Adventure Continues: Terence is really taking the Refuge in Audacity too far at the very end of the short, when he's putting on a doctor's coat and stethoscope.

 Bait-and-Switch: The scowling floor manager seems to be suspicious of Terence, as he keeps glancing at him. In fact, he promotes Terence to assistant floor manager.

 Compartment Shot: The opening shot shows a door opening which turns out to be the door to an armoire, as Terence pulls a jacket off a hanger.

 Billions of Buttons: Terence is sent to man a register. There's a shot of all the buttons on the register, which he has no idea how to use. His face briefly shows panic, but after a little trial and error he's managing the register confidently.

 Brick Joke: Thanks to Terence, a little girl winds up peeing in the supervisor's trash can. At the end of the short the supervisor is rinsing out his trash can with hot water.
