Hardworking and initiative problem solver
Since i am a student, i also tutor first years at the university. I tutor them the so-called 'hard subjct'-mahematics. I work under pressure with my team and the student perform very well. I'm very well organised as I also managed to study and totur the first years which means multi task is m thing. I have learnt best from my lectures, they give us advice on how to succeed in life and make good career choices. they are very skilled and hav taught me a lot. I like to make jokes while i'm tutoring so that the students cannot find the sessions boring i want them to be more enthusiastic and not be afraid or anything. Most challenging aspect is that time management is what i should be good at, thats why I plan for the day and write all to do list on my journal so that i cannot forget. Because after classes i also go to the gym to reduce fatigue and be healthier. I really like gym as it improves mental ability and i become physically more healthier.
Pros: Gain more skills
Cons: Too much workload

I’m an all rounder at Executive level
The secret to success is my ability to get the job done by understanding the context of the landscape of the sector and navigate through this time of uncertainty. I come with a history of successful stories and have a myriad of examples of success most notably turning a bankrupt university to function at a level of sophistication and profitability.
Pros: I will bring new opportunities and change management functionality.
Cons: None

As a part- time lecturer at the University of the Western cape, the work day becomes very busy every week and work is always under pressure. The relationship with my colleague at the department of Anthropology/sociology is good but some time it becomes very difficult to maintain for a long time. Tolerance is one of the things I have learnt from my work especially when dealing with the students and what I enjoy mostly is teaching, listening to students including the social advice to the students in my discipline.We are working in the environment where the classes are overcrowded and the most challenging aspects especially in my discipline (sociology) is marking the student's assignments and examination scripts and capturing the marks.
Pros: Available opportunities for promotion but requires very hard work
Cons: Due to the constrain of the work, it will condition you to work after hours but with out pay

Great opportunity
Dear Sir/Madam I am a dedicated and hardworking individual, unafraid to work tirelessly in order to achieve my goals. My career discipline focused chiefly on key concepts in astrophysics and linking physics to astronomy working on variety of data sets. I credit my success in this field to hard work, dedication and overall enthusiasm for my work as manifested by my transcripts. I'm an independent worker and commendably capable of problem solving and trouble-shooting on my own, as well as becoming familiar with the relevant literature. It will be a great pleasure for me to exercise my skills as a data scientist. I will very much appreciate if you consider me for this job. Hope to hear a favorable response from you and speaking with you about this employment opportunity.
Pros: Striving for attaining more skills
Cons: Doing nothing at workplace

Excellent learning curve and lab work experience
It is great to be apart of Uwc helping first year students understanding practicals. A typical day is 5 hours of work including helping students for 2 annd a half hours and the other 2 amd a half hours are spemt on marking books/tests.many times before the practical sessions start, the lab has to be prepared for the students. I love working with my co-workers, they are such wonderful people I enjoy interacting with the students, as i was also once in their place. Most challenging aspect of the job, well there was none as i love what i do
Pros: Graet opportunity for lab work experience
Cons: None

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

Great development of interpersonal skills and high regard for precision.
In general I worked quite flexible and had a three phase work week. Phase one took place from Monday to Tuesday and would involve overall lab maintenance and staff queries. Additionally, preparation for lectures and the development of exercises would take place. Phase two involved lecturing and marking this took place from Wednesday and Thursday. In addition, I had to manage tutors and payments. Finally Friday generally involved research. The interpersonal skills that I developed was profound. The environment was quite relaxed and my co-workers and supervises were very approachable. Furthermore, I development an attitude for hard and intensive work this was also the most challenging part of the job. Moreover, the bonds and friendships I formed was invaluable.
Pros: Experience wass invaluable
Cons: Stagnation

First Time Experience working with different People
During ushering we had to be working at 7:30 early in the morning already and we had a good relationship because anytime we could leave and go to class especially when it's not busy. I learnt that communication is very important because the people we had to meet were different and they were coming from different places and we had to equalize them. What I can say stood out the most for me was meeting different people in one day just like that and the feeling of being at work and seeing people smile because I am also smiling, and the food after a long day did the trick also. Challenges were obviously there because some people would not listen to me when I show them where to sit, and the standing for long hours also was a bit of a challenge but it was worth it. I actually noticed how much hard it is working and how beautiful it can be at the same time.
Pros: Food parcels
Cons: Working Long Hours
