Learnt new skills & improved my communication skills
A typical day at work is firstly communicating with my colleagues before proceeding with the tasks I have to complete. My colleagues are much more experienced in terms of the skills and understanding of the organisation therefore, I've learnt a great deal from them and have helped to improve my work ethic. My tasks at work are meeting with students to solve any complaint or struggle that they may be facing, this has been an incredible experience as it has allowed me to see and understand different personalities as well as thinking strategically to not only solve the problem at hand but also finding a long term solution. I have also learnt how to organize data, created new spread sheets that will be user friendly for others to use and data analysis on Microsoft Excel.
Pros: Improved communication skills, administrative skills and great co-workers
Cons: Not compensated for working over-time

Excellent learning curve
I learnt a few things while working at pearson institute of higher education. I learnt to keep time since i was expected to wake early in the morning and be at work on time. I had a good relationship with the co workers, they were very helpful they would help me with any work activity that was expected from me. I learnt to create a poster on which we could use as a form of communicating more with students of pearson. The challenges that i encountered was that i was expected to do all the tasks that were introduced per day thoguh i managed to pull through. The other challenge was getting to know my co workers and their weaknesses and accepting them as they are. I enjoyed most working and learning more and more each and every day .
Pros: work/life balance
Cons: long working hours

Excellent learning curve. Gaining experience. Gaining training
I have an excellent work ethic and prove to be very efficient in every job task handed to me. I take charge and always look for a way to improve and do better. The most challenging parts of work is working with difficult line managers who wants to employ candidates faster then necessary. Typical day at work would be sourcing candidates for a vacancy through Taleo system and start long listing and short listing. Finally getting through to screening and inviting candidates for interviews.
Pros: Flexible working hours
Cons: Restructuring
