Productive employee
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. This may consist of answering phones, emails, ordering supplies, checks, scheduling meetings, catering, etc.
My co-workers and I are a great team and work very well together. The hardest part – more... of the job is keeping track of the international students and their schedules. The most enjoyable is the diversity ecountered when meeting new faculty and students. – less

Volunteered
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.

Co-workers and administration all focused on helping students develop skills and increase opportunities.

Strict supervior
Student Assistant (Former Employee), Durham, NC – December 18, 2012
Pros: flexible work hours
Cons: temporary work, strict and stern supervisor
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. After I finished the task I was allowed to study or complete any homework assignments that I had. I learned how important it is to be professional, dress professional – more... and presentable, how essential it is to have professional and personal communication on the job, how to be on time for work, I learned how the importance of being respectful, how to complete your daily work tasks in a timely fashion and I also learned how important it is to make sure that you are qualified for a job. 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
