Marketing Intern
I believe I'm the best candidate for this position because from my last employment I worked as an Marketing intern for 13 months in the Information Centre where I had to know the University of the Free State products (programmes to study as well as their admission requirements). I also enjoy working at the office as I'm exceptionally organised, accurate and deadline driven in my approach to my work. I prefer to work on my own initiative and I'm also good as a team player. Working in the Information Centre I was used to answering calls, emails and work-ins inquiries which required good interpersonal and communication skills. Aside from my honours degree, I have built upon my interest in this field in a number of ways. Recently I have completed my dissertation about "How Customer Perceived Value of Loyalty Programme Influence Continuous Use" which has allowed me to put my theory for the subject into practice.
Pros: Dealing with different students queries regarding their education and being able to help them choosing desirable career routes,
Cons: Discriminatory working environment

Agricultural/botany research
We are working on Russian wheat aphids that affect wheat leaves,our research basically looks at the plant’s response mechanism to the aphids. We use various laboratory techniques to measure this,extract proteins and do field work where we plant our wheat varieties on a large scale not in the greenhouse. I work with amazing people that make our day to day duties easy and easier to interact with and resolve any form of disputes. The one challenging part has to to having to remember my basic chemistry skills as we make solutions from scratch. Overall the job has been amazing with lessons daily.
Pros: Advancing skills,great opportunity
Cons: Fixed experiment hours.

Great learning opportunity
A typical day starts of with news desk, where we discuss story ideas and content for social media platforms. Not everyday is the same and it is a very creative environment with lost to learn from professionals My relationship with my co-workers.

I enjoy the creativity, the team work/spirit and learning something new almost everyday.
