decent job during college if you have the time.
Resident Mentor (Current Employee), Columbia, SC – December 11, 2012
Pros: half off housing, quarter off meal plan
Cons: instability, working with a high number of freshmen.
Working for University Housing has been a different experience every day. Personally, I like stability, so it was not for me, but there is much to learn and experience as a Resident Mentor for the university.

Good work environment, self reliant
Teacher lab assistant (Former Employee), Aiken, SC – November 1, 2012
a day at work required that you take care of the animals and prep all labs for the professors and help during the time of classes. I learn the responsibilities of being self reliant and working well with lab equipment. I enjoyed working with the professors and helping students with their questions.

Worked in a lab. I learned lab techniques and organization. Management was instrumental in my career development. Co-workers were nice. The hardest part was finding time to study. The most enjoyable part was sampling.

Peer Tutor while attending college full-time
Accounting Peer Tutor (Former Employee), Bluffton, SC – September 16, 2012
Pros: flexible work schedule, flexible hours, great manager, great people, great learning experience, great for full-time college students
Cons: challenge to appeal to everyone who needs your help
I helped students achieve academic excellence in accounting courses. I developed so many great skills that have helped me in my professional career, such as presentation skills, public speaking, learning to adapt your approach to different types of learners, and managing time. The manager was awesome and really encouraged all the tutor to focus on their – more... studies first, their wellness second, and the students they tutor third. My co-workers were mostly full-time college students. I enjoy teaching others and helping them achieve academic success, plus I tutored a subject area I love, accounting. – less

A challanging place to work
Director of Columbia's Cooking! (Current Employee), Columbia, SC – April 4, 2012
Pros: the work is very enjoyable
Cons: no opportunity for pay raise, no advancement with in the department, work load is out of balance, basic administrative support is lacking, no goal setting or reviews with management
Duties vary from teaching nutritionally focused culinary classes to research on the link between diet and health. Working with students to expose them to the feild of dietetics is very rewarding. Research into health benefits of foods as it relates to cancer and chronic disease prevention is fascinating.

State Government
Fiscal Analyst I/Accountant (Current Employee), Columbia, SC – January 25, 2013
Pros: great flexibility
Cons: low pay
I love the flexibility but it is government and the opportunity for advancement is not great unless you totally change jobs. They do not give too many raises either.
