Graduate Research Assistant (Current Employee), NY, NJ – March 12, 2013
Basically, I am teaching general and organic lab for undergraduate students at St. John's University for 1-2 days in a week. Then I will perform experiment for the rest of the days for the whole week. In the weekend, I enjoyed hanging out with friends, chat and watch a movie, or I spend sometime reading books.

This is where I truly fell in love with Student Life / Services
Administrative Assistant/ Graduate Assistant (Former Employee), Queens, NY – January 18, 2013
Pros: worked with students and student organizations closely
Cons: i worked over 40 hours a week while taking a full course load.
I started off as a student assistant working just 10 hours a week, and once I realized that I had the opportunity to add some value to my fellow students University experience, this was no longer a job, but had now become a big part of my life.

I started working closely with administrators to plan and produce everything from Social & Cultural Events – more... to Student Leadership Development Workshops. This was the spring board through which I was able to develop my skills and ultimately lead the student body as their President in my Senior Year. – less

Challenging yet Exciting Academic Workplace
Doctoral Fellow/Teaching Assistant (Current Employee), Queens, NY – January 17, 2013
Pros: research freedom
Cons: no healthcare, low pay
A typical day at work consists of working in an academic lab under a PhD, PI. I've learned a number of valuable research tools and techniques and how to write scientifically. The hardest part of the job is the hours, as science experiments can consume a lot of time. Also, a lot of time they do not work and require troubleshooting. The troubleshooting – more... is a good skill to develop though, so that can sometimes be beneficial. – less

Great benefits but low compensation if not in upper management
Assistant Director (Current Employee), Queens, NY – July 23, 2012
Pros: fridays off in the summer, 22 vacations days for administrators
Cons: slow advancement
Typical day at work starts at 8:30am and ends at 4:30pm for most areas of the University.

Most of my co-workers are good people but too often I have seen people not qualified for positions be advanced over those that have the education or experience. Its a lot about who you know and once in a blue someone will shine and progress.
