Administrative Assistant (Current Employee), Durham. North Carolina – May 15, 2013
Pros: meeting new people
Cons: healthcare
A typical day at work consists of assisting the assistant director of international affairs and the program manager with the day to day operations of the office.

Volunteer Worker (Former Employee), Durham, NC – April 29, 2013
I worked in the orientation office as a volunteer. So I didn't get paid and there was no secure job here for me. I did it for the experience. I loved being around college students like myself. Especially during the summer with all the freshmen coming in. It was a great feeling to help so many people in starting their college career.
Visiting Instructor (Former Employee), Durham, NC – February 3, 2013
Pros: teaching was a joy
Cons: without a ph.d., there was a limit on what i could hope for.
Visiting teaching staff with no terminal degree had no possibility of full time employment. Compensation was good, but no benefits for part-time, visiting faculty. Co-workers and administration all focused on helping students develop skills and increase opportunities.

A typical day for me as a work study student at North Carolina Central University was full of work and studying. I completed whatever tasks that my supervisor asked me to do each day.

My supervisor was very stern and moody. The hardest part of my job was learning the learning experience and completing tasks that I had never done before. I enjoyed being able to have flexible work hours based on my school schedule. – less
