I was the member of Photo Club and received recommendation to photograph events for International Club first and for Chinese Club later. 

The supervisor of both Clubs always email or talk to me in person one or two weeks before the events. This was volunteer activity so I didn't get pay, but I could join the events and had fun with students here. 

Students here come from lot of countries around the world, and they have different background. I have to talk with them first before shooting, because some people don't feel comfortable in front the camera. 

As a photographer here, I built up my photography skills in every events, and it also brought to me lot of international friends.

The hardest part is sometimes I make mistake and I couldn't re-shoot again because the events only happen once a year. However, I still received good comments from  supervisor of both clubs about my images.

I worked as a chemistry tutor in the S.T.E.M. learning center on the Oceanside Campus assisting students in understanding core concepts of first and second semester general chemistry and organic chemistry. This position helped me to solidify my foundational knowledge of chemistry while providing my peers with valuable advice and guidance on how to approach the coursework. Working at the STEM center was one of the best jobs I ever had due not only to the fantastic team I had the honor of working with, but the triple benefit of reinforcing my  knowledge of core chemistry concepts, gaining the satisfaction of knowing I made a positive and meaningful difference in the academic experience of my peers, and earning a decent wage all at once. 

The kind of job that I had with MiraCosta was a work study job. That means that while you are a student at MiraCosta, you can work and study, sometimes and depending on the position. I had a great time working at this school because of the culture and environment the job had which made me want to keep going. I am sad that I left the school and job but happy that I was able to find great friends. The work is easy as long as you keep up with it. You can make your own schedule because they will go off of your school schedule.

Horticuluture can be very physical and is diffinitely hands on with  daily horticultural tasks such as learning about plant pests, plant diseases, plant nutrition, propagation and greenhouse mangement. The outdoor environment is a plus, whether it be raining out or a hot day plants need care. Management are real people persons with outsanding respect which inturn  creates a positve atmosphere  to work. Someone once said " love what your are doing and you'll never work a day in your life". This is so true of what I do .

Easy to get work in most departments if you like being temporary part-time with few options for permanent positions. Working with this campus in most offices for 8 years and applying multiple times for permanent positions and not getting one took its toll. 
Then my manager told me to start looking for another job because of major budget cuts after hearing this for two 2 years I felt all my hard work was for not. 
I quit.

This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had on the job. I can't believe what is happening in this lab. Nobody knows what they are doing and they refuse to train people correctly. The managers clearly don't know what's going on around the floor. Inconsistencies everywhere. They need to hire a floor manager and start restructuring the way they do things and start building better processes. Its honestly amazing they can hold a certification. Clearly the private ISO certification company working with fsns is corrupt. 

The institution is very good. It has different education's  options and plans. Always helps to students in personal and educative issues. The staff and professors are very professional, with very nice attitude and help students. It is a wonderful and helpful school.

MiraCosta pays well and has very good job security once past probation.  The administration for the years I worked there was steady and forward-thinking with students' best interest as the goal. My particular job did not have adequate support staff, but management understood this and was supportive. Great to be around students and others with the goal of improving lives and our community through education.
