I was 1 of 13 to be chosen out of over 100 applicants. The chances of getting the job is slim because it is a hard job to do and there is also limited computers to do this job.

I learned a lot about being consistent, being strong and pushing through difficult calls, sounding pleasant, etc.

My management was amazing and always willing to help me if I was sick or had a family emergency. They were also very good at supporting their crew and motivating people to push forward and reach our goals.

My co-workers were all very kind, there was not a bad egg in the bunch and I made a lot of friends outside of work because of them. 

The hardest part of the job was dealing with rejection and violent clients. Sometimes, I would get all the way through the script, several times in a night and not make one pledge. It was also hard to keep motivated some days. We all have our bad days and rejection on bad days is what makes this job very hard.

The most enjoyable part was talking with lots of different alumni of all ages, encouraging high school students to attend MN State. Also, making all the friends I did and meeting many different staff of the university.

While attending classes for a semester, I have to work on my website www.wordsengine.com everyday as it is my project for subject.  I am learning JSP & Servlets with MYSQL database for one another subject.  Also, working on PHP application.  Management is greate where work and life balance is managed by this education system.  I have to work with project mates and share ideas about implementation of project and different techniques associated with project.  Hardest part of job is to comply with quality of projects which takes extensive deal of our efforts at each and every point of performance check and we have to work hard for quality implementation.  Enjoyable part is all about trial and error.  Every requirement is achieved by a set of trials and errors for example, in our project we implemented AJAX before some days to populate database values on button keypress event like google search engine.  This took our great deal of efforts but finally we achieved it through trial and error.  Really enjoyed learning AJAX implementation.

I still have no idea why coworkers say I stalled work flow.    I showed up every day and wiped off every last tables with the gobs of food emptied in the garage bag and pale.  I always wore the rubber shoes.  Sometimes I talked to the manager to show i was friendly, because friends come and go.   I wanted some allies if I was going to work at the cafe for years.  Everything I did showed up on security camera.    Since friends come and go and they said I got distracted.   I also washed dishes and cups and completed that job.  I refilled the fountain machine cups.  I filled deli shotguns with melons.  I used the knife in the deli correctly.    I wiped all tables and were clean.  The job was always 100% completed at the end of the day.  I barely talked to anyone during my internship.  

A typical day at Student Health Services starts by me getting the clinic open by 7:45 to start the day.  Most of the day is spent making appointments for the students.  In person and on phone. Collecting the paperwork and insurance needed for the appointment.  The phones are always busy. We also have a pharmacy that keeps us busy at the front desk checking people out. I post insurance payments throughout the day. I scan documents in electronic medical records system when needed. Work on release of information requests. I Work with many different insurance websites. I work with a diverse group of students. It's a lot of fun working with the college students.

Pretty much your own boss and you are treated like an adult.The people are great to work with even though management was a pain at times because they never seemed to know what was going on even though they acted like they did. The work was tedious but never difficult and you could work at your pace as long as the work got done and looked presentable.The pay was union scale and if you had any issue's with a co-worker you could always go to your union steward who was very helpful and watched out for their fellow union memebers.

It being a student job, they understand that academics come first. Thankfully my managers and supervisor also understood that health comes before the job. I had a great supervisor, managers and coworkers who cared about me. Safety is #1 priority (as it should be). The hardest part of the job is just setting up and taking down equipment, which isn't bad. Most enjoyable part was getting to work with my managers and coworkers.

I enjoyed being a peer-panelist for the LGBT center at MNSU. I would talk to different folks and groups of individuals about my experiences as a part of the LGBT+ community. I enjoyed the staff, the people I peer-paneled with, and the overall atmosphere of talking to groups of people.
