I am a hard working person who is willing to develop my career and learn every day

my duties include general administration work making sure that the venue is neat and usable when there is test and exam handling and caring of tests and exam question paper to the venue before and after test and exam attending to students with general questions. my working relationship with co-workers is good as we respect each other. i have learn a lot since 2010 eg. how to handle students from different background, culture and interacting with them. i enjoy moving around the venue while the test or exam is process. The most challenging aspect of invigilating is when you caught students who are cheating and write a report about it.the other challenge is that you must have concrete evidence that the student was cheating

Pros: i think the chance of getting promoted are slim because we work on part time basis only if there is test or examination
Cons: it depend on the length of the paper

Good learning curve

its a day of at least 10 tasks a day ranging from a password reset to network routing problem.at the medical campus where im currently located i have 3 colleagues and a team leader whom i believe we have a good work ethic and team work. I started this job when i was coming from a microsoft internship,was given someone to shadow for a week and got my own tasks from there.the contract was initially a 2 month trial which has lead to me been here for about 2 years where i got to practically learn all the things i have learn before the actual job. customer satisfaction is what i enjoy most,if i can resolve a task i will research to ensure that i eventually resolve it within the SLA unless it needs to be escalated.

Pros: I was provided an opportunity to get practical experience to align with my education
Cons: the company doesnt believe in internal growth and theres no opportunity to be absorbed permanently

I am currently unemployed but I was a tutor last year

A typical day at the office was constant interaction with students then after tests we would mark intensely. I would share the office space with coworkers and we learnt how to work as a unified group. Tutoring tought me patience, listening skills, multi-tasking and managing my time What I enjoyed was helping someone get a good grade. The challenging aspect was marking essays and granting marks accordingly.

Pros: Salary
Cons: Interference with school
