Excellent way for me to get to work with people and improve my maths skills.

The most challenging thing is coming across mathematical problems that are not similar to what I've solved but i must be able to assist students. it's more like a learning experience more than just a job. i enjoy learning while teaching other because yo discover new ways to solve different problems and the most inspiring is the fact that these students look up to you.

Pros: great way to learn more and understand further.
Cons: it's hard because each mathematical problem is hard and when you are not a lecturer.

Working with students popularce is one of the most challenging issues.

I've been working in the administration of residence. Working tirelessly under difficult conditions. The space of learning is the most challenging environment because you cooperate with academics. They always try by all means to criticize your job. Fortunately enough, i managed to produce good work for my employer and give best service to students which is one of the objectives of the institution. I am looking forward to work in your company in delivering the best service.

Pros: I am willing to give the best service for both parties employer and clients
Cons: I do not mind to work over time for the benefit of institution and their clients.

It helped me to build my confidence and inhanced my presentation skills

I had to deal with students by facilitating them during practicals. This helped me to build my confidence when standing in front of people and my presentation skills. This also helped me to work independently because i had to prepare before i go to demonstrate students.

Pros: It was a great opportunity to practice more about what i did on my undergraduate
Cons: I had to make time by compromising my study time

Work

Have to deal with a lot of students who ask a million questions. We as demonstrators have a great bind being classmates as well. I have learnt a lot, I mean academically i am doing research but in terms of work, i have learnt to be patient and more attentative. I enjoy helping students understand their work and seeing them do well and the challenging thing is working while studying which is not easy.

Pros: Study while working
Cons: a lot of things to do

Out of my expertise, but definitely worth the challenge and experience

The working environment was a lively atmosphere about it, a great experience not only for work and learning, but to also build and maintain genuine long lasting friendships from interim worker all the way to supervisors and employers!

Pros: Great opportunity to learn about the real stuff, 'on the field' type of experience
Cons: Sometimes having to work longer hours than expected

Don't work hard, work smart. Let me help you....

In my last job I was head hunted by recruiters at UKZN. They required a top-performing individual which was an excellent match to that of my personality, experience and smart work. My typical day at the office begins at 8:00am sharp, where I offer my extensive experience in personal assistance, general administration, student administration, module/course administration, secretarial experience, financial/claims administration, and finally travel booking. Throughout the day I go about utilising my various other types of skills such as computing skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, organizational skills, events management, problem solving, coordination skills and many more. Possessing fine attributes such as high levels of honesty and trustworthiness can sometimes be a downfall for me as colleagues tend to get a bit too chatty and tend to seek my personal advice. However, I have learnt how to postpone these sessions for lunch hour or after work. I then leave the office at 16:00pm.

Pros: Great opportunities if advancing studies
Cons: After hour meetings

A Reverse Racist Institution

A Reverse Racist institution (yes, I know that theoretically that does not exist, but there is no other way to describe it). In order to progress at UKZN you must be black, completely black, not even of colour. If you are not black enough you get nowhere at UKZN. An exploitative institution filled with narrow-minded individuals who hold positions of power. These individuals often abuse these positions. In addition, contract staff are treated like dirt at UKZN (Edgewood campus in particular) and they never get made permanent even when positions become available, especially if they are not black enough for the reversed racist policies upheld by UKZN. Those in power do not care about the people who work under them, but rather only look out for themselves, people like the Dean are very sly, underhanded and false.

Pros: Good space to develop academically
Cons: No opportunities for advancement if you are not black and a suck up.
