Brief but beneficial!
Editing Staff of Front Porch (Former Employee), San Marcos, Texas – February 23, 2013
Pros: editing experience, the joy of reading a variety of poetry from all over
Cons: only lasted a semester
My work for Front Porch Literary Journal was very beneficial, I believe, to my overall editing experience. I learned how to gauge poetry for publication and to determine what a journal would be looking for at any given time. I only regret that I didn't work for Front Porch for more than one semester for credit.

Overall sustainability
Senior Business Office Assistant (Former Employee), San Marcos, TX – July 24, 2012
Pros: team oriented, great management
Cons: career growth
A typical day at work would be to start every morning counting and balancing deposits left over night from over 5 different recreation departments and then administrative duties which ranged from balancing all the departments monthly accounts, which sometimes included more than one. Other duties would include balancing the department heads credt card – more... statements as well as filing.

I learned a great deal from working here and using SAP was one of them as well as balance, entering, creating accounts under Quickbooks.

The hardest part of my job was my last days there because I grew to love my co-workers and position but knew at the same time that I had reached my goal with them and needed to move on. – less

Overall, a great place to work, a lot of good people to work with.
Trainer/Shop Supervisor/ADSO (Former Employee), San Marcos, TX – June 15, 2012
In my position, every day brought its own different tasks, projects, events, etc.

I learned a great deal, new skills, expanding on skills already possessed.

The Management Team that I worked directly with and was a part of was more like a family in many ways, yet do not misunderstand: The entire Management Team acted in a very professional manner, – more... got the job done, and was extremely pro-active in Customer Service and commitment to the customer. Again, I worked with a great many fellow colleagues from entry level on up through the hierarchy who pleasant to work with, willing to teach what they knew, etc.

The most enjoyable part of the job were the people, the learning experience and the variety. – less

Texas State University Review
Research Assistant (Former Employee), San Marcos, TX – June 11, 2012
It was a great experience being a research assistant. I learned a lot about the process of getting an article ready for publication. My professor/manager gave me valuable feedback and took my suggestions as if I was an equal. I felt like I was a valued member of a great team, and I became very interested in the subject matter.

This experience has given – more... me the motivation to do additional research projects both professionally and as a I continue my education. – less
