I I I assist with research. I also write report and capture data..the community is very welcoming.

Enhances skills and knowledge

I have enhanced my knowledge in the chemical industry and had practical experiences. I was able to work individually and collaboratively. We were taught to write weekly reports which is extremely important to know in my field of study. The hours have been long and hectic and that taught me how to work under pressure and to be resilient. The course material is relevant and consise which made it easy to understand the concepts of the course and to excel in them.

Pros: Excellent practical amd theoretical experiences
Cons: Bulk work

My Current Situation at Work

I work as a tutor at a huge university. Given the current academic climate and unstable conditions with #FeesMustFall Campaign and Protests, I have a dire need to seek other employment. The reality is that I am a contract staff member and the possibility of a permanent position is very slim. I have no other option but to try and find other employment to meet my needs of financial instability and emotional exhaustion.

Pros: Interaction with Staff is great
Cons: Contract Staff stay long on Contract

Digital Literacy Tutor

Assist students with Word, PowerPoint presentations, Excel and Projects. What I learnt was to be patient with the students, communications skills, Literacy skills as well. What I enjoyed the most was to be able to increase my communications skills and also my Literacy skills. I struggled a bit when it came to computers but now I'm up to standards. The most challenging experience was to be able to adapt into that environment, I'm used to working with consumers and not necessarily students so having to shift my audience was quite overwhelming. My co-workers were very helpful as it was my first year and kept me on par at all times. As I am a fast learner, they were shook in how I learnt the dynamics at a fast pace.

Pros: A platform for growth
Cons: Dealing with students that don't know anything
