Part time student job
Marking of all relevant tests, sick tests, exams and sick exams for all third year subjects according to specific lecturers' preference. Markers. Also inform lecturers of ambiguous questions and memo errors as deducted from student answers. We are responsible for all received question papers for marking, storing and handing in all question papers in a punctual, accurate and neat fashion. Course coordinators, marking coordinators and Co-workers work well together. I learnt punctuality, prioritising and accurate marking under pressure. My joys were obtained from the great teamwork and positive working environment generated from the markers.
Pros: A sense of responsibility towards lecturers and students alike
Cons: Part time student job

Learning experience
During my post-graduate studies over the past four, I assisted in various other research projects with data collection across several fields (ecophysiology to landscape ecology). My PhD work involved various components analysed in R-software and ArcGis assessing the impact of climate change on the threatened Red lark. In 2018, I was privileged enough to be allowed to work on the Specialist Avifaunal Impact Assessment component, which was part of the Wildealskloof Mixed-Use Development in Bloemfontein. I gained valuable first time experience in conducting such an assessment allowing me to learn from skilled co-workers. I’m willing to go out of my way to learn additional skills and attend training courses that are required to join your company. I am grateful for your evaluation of my credentials and subsequent response.
Pros: Learn valuable skills during my post gradute degress
Cons: Struggle to get experience in EIA

Service excellence, vast experience and opportunity to make a difference
Good day I enjoy good personal relationships with my colleagues and supervisor. I believe I am supportive and assist where possible. Diversity in the job is an important aspect to me. I do not want to do routine work and accept that some aspects are more repetitive for instance the completion of the payroll. Although I am currently in a management position I am willing to consider a non-managerial position. Yours sincerely.
Pros: Challenging work and opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way.
Cons: Continuous long working hours.

Friendly work environment
The University of Pretoria Chemistry department is veryworker friendly and there is great equality within the department. The department offers everyone a chance to learn within their respective disciplines and I enjoyed learning new things in a work environment since this was my first job. I had a very good relationship withmy colleagues and we are trained to support each other at all times, thus making the work environment friendly, energetic and enjoyable. There were some challenging aspects such which I encountered from time to time with students, but this was mainly errors students were making in the laboratory that could put the safety of other students and theirs at risk.
