The role of the Higher Education Consultant is the following, Presentations- informing student about the different types of careers Pearson has to offer. Call students to come in for an interview and register the student after they are sure about the career they want to study. Make sure they meet their target. each HEC has a monthly registration target to meet do they plan outreaches to meet the student and parent half way and then plan how many registrations they can get. Another activity they have to do every Wednesday is administration, there we provide the students with provisional acceptance letter to the student also load a lead. we are given a day to do all the administration that is required. one of the things i enjoy is the targets i have not done sales before and the targets are showing me what i am capable of and i love competing with myself. things that i have learnt is how to sell the product and assist the student with the right career choice.

I love what i do, Sales/Marketing, customer service and business developement
My day starts at 8am sharp, i normally plan my week days in advance but as we know in sales we need to be flexible and take on many challenges at once. Ill call my stakeholders to book appointments, book new business and follow up on current clients. I go out to schools to chat to students, grade heads and life orientation teachers and i also set up presentation date so that i can see groups of clients at once. I work very well with my co-workers, we work as a team and as individuals Iv learnt so much in my current job due to the fact that this is the first time I'm in this industry, iv learnt to think differently and how to approach clients in a more specific way. I enjoy helping young minds with making the decision wrt what they what to study and give them career advice. The challenge is converting a registered student into an enrolled student.
Pros: Being able to positively affect the life of a young student
Cons: Not having the right product ie a particular degree that the student might want to study

Terrible learning curve
The company does not value its employees, the only thing they care about is making money. Sometimes salaries are late, like a week late. A typical work day is coming in at 8am and dealing with students and knocking off at 17;00. Co-workers are really cool to work with, it is only the managers that are a problem as complaints are not taken serious, you are not giving resources to do your work, you just have to make the best out of nothing.
Pros: Great facilities
Cons: No opportunity for growth

I learnt a few things while working at pearson institute of higher education. I learnt to keep time since i was expected to wake early in the morning and be at work on time. I had a good relationship with the co workers, they were very helpful they would help me with any work activity that was expected from me. I learnt to create a poster on which we could use as a form of communicating more with students of pearson. The challenges that i encountered was that i was expected to do all the tasks that were introduced per day thoguh i managed to pull through. The other challenge was getting to know my co workers and their weaknesses and accepting them as they are. I enjoyed most working and learning more and more each and every day .
Pros: work/life balance
Cons: long working hours
