Varsity College Reviews

 

Appropriate and competence

-Since this is a most productive time of the day, I try to tackle the most demanding projects and review my to do list from yesterday. -Always make positive assumptions with my bosses or my colleagues, support my co workers and practice common courtesy, respect other people's time - I have matured as an individual and my experience of working with other both colleagues and customers has contributed a lot to my interpersonal skills. I am now productive in my role, well equipped to handle unusual or difficult situation. -I enjoyed giving direct support to senior management in a way that really make a difference, I enjoy the challenge, the responsibility and precise approach which is necessary for me to deliver the information the management rely upon. -Expecting always to be available, expect to know everything even when not included in meetings and private conversations and always be force to deal with difficult personalities.,

Pros: The ability to have an impact in so many areas
Cons: The one-upmanship

A platform to another level

Concentrate on how I ‘organize’ my day and the rest of the week and looking through our office scheduling system to check for any changes, interacting with my coworkers, with them and helping other departments if they are behind with their daily work. My current job is an excellent learning opportunity and I developed my skills and experience in numerous different ways. I have learned how to run our department successful and effectively when my coworker is not around. I enjoy the diversity of tasks a day brings and even the unexpected challenges tomorrow brings like gaining knowledge in different facets of the company and learning about new topics or how to do new things.I enjoy being needed, coming up with the answer or the solution to make your task of the day easier or to make you more effective in my job. Most of my challenges I have had to deal with a lot of personalities coming in and out of the office space but I am pleasant.

Pros: Great knowlege expansion
Cons: Short period of training

Growth is limited

I deal with students, parents and lectures on a day to day basis about the academics of students. Solve queries regarding academics. And ensure the running of lectures is smooth sailing. I enjoy customer service the most, assisting someone and ensuring the get the best service is my outmost best part of my job. The conditions under which we work in can be sometimes most stressful and difficult. I have learnt how to push myself and prioritise my workload. As stressful and difficult the work environment is my colleagues are the best part of my work place.

Pros: Benefits and incentives
Cons: Stressful and growth stagnant

Teacher, Researcher, Social transformation agent.

Good Day My name is Leboghile Motaung and I am currently a Lecturer at Varsity College ( Pietermaritzburg Campus) where i specialize in teaching both theory and practice to student teachers who wish to enter the field of education. I have been in the education space for nine years where I’ve had the opportunity to be a student teacher myself, then a Department of Education English teacher at Camperdown Combined School from 2014 to 2018 . When I left the Department of Education in 2019 I assumed an Academic Managers position at ICESA College where I realised the need for me to go and harness my knowledge and skill in higher education even further so that I can have more insight in this sector because the majority of my experience in education was in the General Education and training sector as my undergraduate Bachelor of Education degree was in the Intermediate and Senior phase.

Pros: Flexible working hours
Cons: Inconsistent income
