Every morning, I did my best to arrive in office before 8 am, clocked in, then reviewed notes and email which last worker left for me yesterday. Then, I replied email, answered the phone call, called the applicant if needed, talked to students in person when students come to office to ask question or submit documents. And I need work with data team, DSO, and other team workers to ensure every application to process application smoothly. 
Admission Counselor is a typical office position. The job makes me be  familiar with working platform and office system in U.S. I learned a lot from staffs and other student workers about attitude, diligent, faith, and servant leadership. 
The management in DBU is great, efficient, and effective. All student workers gained more strong spirit and big heart than the salary. The hardest part of the job is to deal with the same mistakes all the time from different new student workers in different team. But, that was the way which I was improved by. I started from mistakes too. It is the mission of admission office to train and cultivate students. I realized suddenly that the hardest part of the job worker in my office may be the  most enjoyable part of the job if every one wants to help others truly.

At the Dallas Baptist University Fitness Center the typical day incorporated monitoring the athletic gym facility or the student fitness center.  Within the two fitness centers one had a vast amount of responsibilities, such as cleaning all the gym equipment, answering the fitness center phone, taking inventory of cleaning supplies within the stock room, and interacting with the local student body ensuring that everyone was safe and enjoying their gym experience.  The management for the Dallas Baptist University Fitness Center was very well organized, and caring of each individual employee.  Co-workers were other students of the university, many of the co-workers had different backgrounds which made the work environment a learning experience as well due to the fact that individuals with different cultures and backgrounds had the opportunity to blend with one another and and provide unique opportunities to share their culture with others.  The hardest part of the job was enforcing gym rules, this required disciplinary actions if students were unwilling to comply.  The most enjoyable part of working in the fitness center was the opportunities provided to meet and form relationships with many individuals who attended Dallas Baptist University.

Dallas Baptist University is a Christ-centered University, which provides a Christian study environment. The purpose of the international recruitment, admission, and immigration team is to help build a great Christian University that is pleasing to God.  

I have learnt to be a responsible and caring person who can handle the job with passion and love. I have studied in the U.S for four and a half years, which provides me a native English environment to better communicate with my colleagues and foreigners. 

The hardest part of the job is to insist working the whole day. It was hard for me to balance work and studies. I need to manage my time wisely and put effort to both areas. However, the most enjoyable part of the job is to communicate with colleagues and students which broaden my horizon. 

Based on the American working experience I received, I can better provide costumers with a professional service. To serve my costumers is my goal, and I want to serve them with all my heart. If there is no costumer, there will not be any company. Therefore, costumers are my targets to serve as a servant.

Dallas Baptist is a great place to work with, for the most part, great people. The environment is very good, with understanding management and peers, again for the most part. There is always work to do but there are also many times you can rest and relax especially during the summer and winter months. Management is understanding usually, but there may be times they ask for more than usual, especially during graduation or other special events. The biggest down side is that there does not seem to be a clear development process to grow in credentials, certificates, pay and title. I can only speak from a Landscaping and Phys Ops perspective, but there seems to be no structure for pay increase or rising up through the ranks in any way. All in all, a good place to work and get your schooling paid for entirely (full time employees only), but if you're looking for a career it may not be the best option. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff the people you work with the children you protect.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This job is stress free because you're protecting students that are wise and educated there is no stress in dealing with them. Kind of a breath of fresh air from previous jobs

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like I said it's stress free the culture is wonderful it's a religious environment that works well with everyone working there. Each person cares about each other and that's what the Bible teaches us. So that's what we are bible-based church-based place to work

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical days driving around the campus making sure that everything is good and people are safe and there are no incidences that are no Police needs. As we are proactive not reactive.

Answered incoming inquiries, respond to student, staff and faculty questions and solves problems according to standardized procedures while maintaining a courteous manner. Asked effective questions and gathered information to determine source of problems and student, staff, and faculty needs. Accurately captured all student, staff or faculty and issue related information in the proper database. Worked with Dallas Baptist University domain server and product information, multiple client tools, client specific reference materials, scripting, advanced technical knowledge, and customer service skills and problem solving skills to diagnose and solve customer problems. Assisted students, staff and faculty in the computer lab and on/off campus.

I feel like I am an orchestra Conductor, coordinating the work of my Executive Directors getting ready for the next presentation to Sr. Staff, Chief’s meeting or the Board of Trustees.  A typical day costs of meetings working with staff and outside groups, CPA firms, lawyers, financial advisors, bond attorneys, city staff and administrative staff.  Working with people is certainly the most enjoyable part of the job along with the variety of topics I touch.  This there is always something new I am learning.  
The culture is a friendly work hard have fun kind of place.  The hardest part of the job is the public politics dealing with an elected nine member board.  There is certainly a lot stress and you have to enjoy the pressure.

The best thing about working in a huge environment like DBU is that it's very much like a well oiled machine. Everything kind of has its place. The staff/personnel there were mostly very friendly and helpful. Typical day could be very busy or pretty spread out, just depended on what the departments/faculty across the campus needed at the time. It was not a very stressful position, very laid back as long as you got your work finished within a timely manner.

I was able to work quite a bit on several degree pages, and programs whether it was minor styling or content updates, I was also taught quite a bit on how to handle changes that could be tracked for work orders.

In general, I had no idea what I would be doing when I came into work because anything could happen. You might have to leave the office to troubleshoot a computer or you could be helping people over the phone all day. The culture was pretty cool. We had breakfast every first Friday of the month and would often have fun events to go to. The management was good, however I think that the authority was too spread out, meaning that there were three managers and sometimes they all had different agendas. The hardest part was learning all the I.T. stuff. The best part was the knowledge that I gained from the job and thrill of solving problems.
