Working as a student assistant at the University of Johannesburg has offered me administration skills and the ability to handle and complete tasks delegated to me by lecturers. Being a tutor also at the University of Johannesburg has offered me great exposure to a diverse group of students which has boasted my confidence tremendously. I prepared and conducted tutorial sessions where I gained presentation and communication skills. I also have learnt skills such as problem identification, critically analyzing and problem solving.
Pros: ability to organize

Great learning curve
Being an administrative assistant, your job is to assist administratives, whatever those are. And to much of the world, your job sounds like an easy one. The most challenging part of the job is that You Always Have To Be Happy People Think Your Job Is Easy. What I have learned is that an administrative assistant is the one who keeps the office running efficiently. The skilled administrators continuously look for new ways to lend support, or make improvements to benefit the company. The administrators aren't just supporting players they add value in a way that makes them critical to an organization's success.
Pros: Opportunities to grow
Cons: Comfort Zone

Great experience
Office hours are from 08:00 to 16:00 which is never the case among myself and my colleagues as we often extend our working hours to ensure the success of our projects. I am the leader of a small marketing team with huge expectations from my line manager which we manage to achieve all the time through the unity among us. During my time at UJ I have have learned patience, as we are all different individuals from different backgrounds therefore we do not have the same perspective as everyone else. I enjoy the freedom to think out of the box and to try new things, because marketers are supposed to be innovative. The most Challenging part of my Job is that we are understaffed so we work under pressure all the time.
Pros: Perfect opportunity for mental growth
Cons: Not enough staff

Magnificent learning curve
Being a tutor has help me in improving my personal skills, problem solving skills and analytical thinking. My co-workers are very supportive in terms of giving out needed information and providing learning equipment. working with students could be challenging in terms of dealing with students who lack focus, students who do not prepare for classes and students who are rude, nevertheless it is always a great learning curve. and there is nothing as fulfilling as knowing that you are making a change in someone's life by assisting them academically.
Pros: great opportunity for improving personal skills
Cons: poor salary

Excellent learning curve
Product design has always fascinated me. The design of products have the ability to change the way people live, think and behave. This is almost like the saying “do not tell me what to do but rather show me. I design by Dieter Rams`s philosophy that forms follow function. I am an energetic designer who is eager to learn more about the design industry. I am a quick learner and believe that you can never know enough. . I am good team worker and team leader. Individual work is easy for me as I am self motivated person. I feel that my easy going personality assists me to get along with people.
