professional experience
Graduate Research Assistant (Current Employee), Auburn, AL – August 22, 2012
I experienced a professional environment in my group.
1. Maintaining fixed timings for work.
2. Regular group meetings.
3. Presentations in the group meeting.

I have learnt new software, new concepts, how to over come errors while designing, how can one justify the designs etc.

The hardest part of the job is to execute the design with no errors and – more... still getting the wrong results and the most enjoying part is to find out the mistake in the design. – less

Graduate Student Assistant
Graduate Teaching Assistant (Former Employee), Auburn, AL – May 23, 2012
Pros: good support, great learning experience
Cons: balancing teaching with studies, no benefits
The only way to get this job is to be a grad student who qualifies for a stipend. I taught 3 classes a week (on Friday). I prepared lectures and tests. It's a great way to develop public speaking abilities and to further your knowledge on the subject. However combining this workload with your graduate studies can be a pain sometimes.

It was a new and difference experience to instruct and teach 60 students in the course of statics and dynamics. I had to set their exams, grade the labs and take lectures when the professor is not available.

Working nonstop but the customers and co-workers made it worthwhile.
Cashier (Former Employee), Auburn, AL – May 10, 2012
Pros: improves working skills
Cons: long hours
Each day we came 4 hours before a game would start to prepare for the customers. First, we did inventory to know what we had to begin with. Then we cleaned the whole consession stand. Next, we began to prepare the food, put up displays and organize everything. Soon the rush of customers will start coming, helping with directions, taking orders and working – more... nonstop.
This lasted until 11:30pm. The manager made sure we were always working. My co-workers were always on the job. During my time there, I learned how to work at a fast pace, make hard decisons, learn how to take 3 to 4 different answers accuratey at once. And smile at every customer. The hardest part about the job was you were on your feet for 12 hours and more. But the most enjoyable part was the people I worked with. And the customers that made work fun and the time pass by. – less

Incredible institution to work for and with great opportunities for advancement
Special Projects Coordinator (Current Employee), Auburn, AL – May 8, 2012
I learned more on the job than any classroom could ever teach me about day-to-day operations of a nonprofit and business, event planning, outreach programming, program development and stewardship.

The most rewarding part of my job was knowing that my work was laying the foundation of philanthropy at Auburn University for years to come by improving – more... the quality of life in Auburn and abroad. – less

A perfect job to have while attending a university
Resident Assistant (Former Employee), Auburn, AL – April 9, 2012
Pros: free housing, monthly stipend, mixed well with college life
Cons: management sometimes disconnected with others
While my job did not take up very many hours in a week. I was technically on duty and responsible for my residents 24/7. I was responsible for maintaining an orderly community in the residence halls. I facilitated social interaction and group building activities that fit into an academic environment. I learned much about interpersonal communication – more... and how to deal with countless types of challenges. Whenever I disagreed with management, I felt it was my duty to express my concern. We maintained a favorable relationship.

My co-workers were a diverse and exciting bunch of individuals. Our bond strengthened the more we worked together. I would say the most difficult aspect of my job was maintaining a relationship with every resident in my building. 300 people can be difficult to keep track of. The most enjoyable part of my job was interacting with my residents and giving them a proper environment to learn and grow as individuals. – less

Great learning environment with excellent guidance from Professors.
Stage Manager (student) (Former Employee), Auburn University Theatre Department – December 2, 2011
Pros: mentors who were very helpful, and good work experience.

Working at Auburn University while I was a student was a wonderful experience. I gained many new skills and was able to work closely with others who have worked in the field professionally. I did not get paid, but feel that the experience was well worth my time and labor.
