On a typical day I would go in lab, I would incubate test tubes to sterilize and then proceed to clean them. I would make nutrient agar, starch, gelatin, etc. and then pour the liquid into test tubes and incubate. After they are cooked, I carefully place them at each student's station ready to be used on lab day. I grade quizzes and lab reports, answer questions, and clean up. I love all of the people I work with. We have a group chat even with the professors so that we keep good communication. Everyone is encouraging and challenges each other to do their best and enjoy this experience. The hardest part of the job is trying to stir gelatin because it is so thick. Many times I start over because the gelatin clumps together before it liquifies. I absolutely love the environment and cleaning test tubes.

Working in the Learning Center at Charleston Southern University as Lab manager was a great experience.  I was fortunate enough to serve fellow students in time of need by booking their appointments for tutoring sessions and referring them to tutors who would appropriately and effectively communicate with them.  My favorite part about this job was being able to greet and exercise interpersonal communication with each person who came in to the center and knowing that they are being helped.  By working early hours and late nights I've learned how to take on certain responsibilities to ensure the quality of the program.

Finally got rid of VPAA who was not transparent when making decisions about promotion.  No raises in the last 6 years, and a joke for a raise this year.  Fellow colleagues and students at this university are great.  They make you feel like you belong there and help you in any way you need.  No cliques within the faculty, as they are all Christians and make decisions based on Christian principles.  I have not worked at a better place as far as collegiality is concerned.

A typical day consisted of researching materials and databases for information needed by faculty and students.
Learned how to locate various websites and key words to shorten search time and dissect information to prevent over load.
Management was very determined and helpful.
Our group of co-workers were family.
The hardest part of the job was finding things to do during down time.
The most enjoyable part was getting verbal appreciation for just doing your job.

If you're looking for a pleasant, friendly, safe, professional place to work, CSU is it!  The only draw-back is the low salaries.  CSU affords employees a tuition grant.  This is extended to the employee, their spouse, and/or children.  So, if you or someone in your immediate family want to attend an accredited university for free, maybe this is for you.  However, because of the tuition grant, salaries are much, lower than average.

Responsible for organizing practice, budget management, food coordinating, schedule coordinating, and recruiting. You must be willing to work an extreme amount of hours. You must also be willing to work flexible hours. One of the hardest parts of the job is there are no days of during season and recruiting season. Most enjoyable part of the job is being around great student athletes and the game of baseball.

Working at Charleston Southern university I greeted members who entered the gym. As members entered I offered them a lock for their belongings and personal items to keep them secure as they worked out in the gym areas. While members worked out I answered the phone and was required to have a positive happy attitude, which I did. I also checked out equipment such as; yoga mats, basketballs, etc. After the gym closed I was responsible for cleaning the gym area
