As a part-time Peer Advisor I worked with faculty, staff, administrators and new/returning students to provide friendly advisement services in a manner that helped the students become familiar with registration, website navigation, and campus life. My typical day consisted of student check-in, registration assistance, interaction with senior advisors, general filing, and refilling supplies.  I occasionally answered phones and routed calls, placed outgoing calls to recruit new students, and assist with placement testing for entering students.  In addition, I worked with the other Peer Advisors, Admissions, Financial Aide, and other departments during Early Enrollment days and for campus tours.  This afforded me the opportunity to interact with a wide range of fantastic administrative personnel, gaining a vast knowledge in professionalism, communicating, networking, leadership, and so many other golden nuggets.  On top of that, I made a difference in the lives of so many new and bewildered students just by sharing my knowledge with a smile, while maintaining my GPA and making the Dean's List. The hardest part of this job was balancing school work, life outside of school, and part-time employment at my other position, but with the help of my supervisors and co-workers everything panned out fine.  There were times when I had to do a lot of walking, but again, working with a team that is committed to team-work and sharing the load, this times were not too hard to bear.

Working part-time in the EMS Equipment Supply Room allows me to work with instructors of Emergency Medical Service classes for EMT's, Paramedics, Law Enforcement, and Firefighters, as well as assist these instructors as a Lab Instructor for these students.  Receiving equipment orders, packing and delivering the orders, as well as repairing and restocking the equipment after the classes is part of a typical work day.  In addition, I teach CPR/AED and First Aid classes through American Heart Association, and verify CPR/AED skills for re-certification of cardholders.  Each class I assist to teach helps me keep up my own EMS skills.  Management and co-workers are easy to work with and allow for a flexible schedule.  The hardest part of the job is cleaning up after a "scenario day" in which a class uses a lot of equipment and dramatic makeup.  The most enjoyable part of my job is watching students learn and grow, then go out into the world to save lives.

some managers made me feel uncomfortable from certain things they would do and say, the customers were great and made the job worth it. I learned how to do inventory and to just keep working even when under a lot of stress. I also learned that although I need the money being discriminated against and bullied in the workplace isn't worth the job. My co-workers were great and I never had issues with them I was really cool with two of my managers (Jodi and Tony) the other managers went out of their way to make working difficult (I personally think they need character building classes). Work was pretty easy it was just the attitudes and disrespect coming from the certain managers that made it rough. The best part about working was the job, I loved the fact that out of all the people in the store I had the opportunity to work in every department.

Working for the depart of public safety was a highly rewarding experience insofar as I was able to help students move their lives in positive directions. The leadership unfortunately was not always interested in student well-being and the promotion opportunities were stagnant. The department also hires retired police to fill roles that really belong to the department itself resulting in an investigation team that is often very out of touch and far too "old school" for an environment of young people.

The work days can vary from very easy to absolute mayhem. You must be perfect or you will be called to the carpet often and immediate supervisors often will not go to bat for you. The co workers are an absolute godsend. Each one has a heart of gold, it is in management and above that the morale starts to break down.

My colleagues at MCC are helpful, supportive, and appreciative. Several people shared their course materials with me when I first taught a class to help me out. At 26, I’m on the younger side for a professor, but no one talks down to me or treats me as though my input is any less valuable (which has not always been the case at other places). I feel like everyone trusts me and has my back (and vice versa). My work is appreciated, and the full-time staff have always given helpful advice. This would be the perfect job if it came with health insurance, but it does not, and that has been a problem for me. Course offerings are also inconsistent, but that is true of pretty much any adjunct position. The pay is excellent for adjunct pay.

Workplace culture really depends on where you work at the college. There are five different schools of Monroe community college and all  differentiate tremendously. The best part of my job was being able to work in the different areas. It was an honor to work with people who really knew what they were doing. They were not just instructors reading from books, or staff who became invisible at shifts end. They were people who lived and breathed what they were teaching, even if they weren't "teacher's." They were people who stayed late to help a fellow coworker, or student who needed one on one time. I think that in itself makes MCC and more specifically, MCC's Applied Technologies Center a home away from home. You can't get more community than that. 

Walking thriough the door helping a student or a prospective student find their way to a building. Hepling a staff member navigate an electronic request form.  Helping a faculty member locate an exam he or she thought they dropped off to the exam scoring center. Its call super service, the most enjoyable part of the day.  Helping to put a smile on a  customer face even when you don't feel like it and even when they don't deserve it. The hardest part of the day is when its time to go home and you stay because there is a customer who just walked in at the last minute. Co-workers are friendly. When you come here to work, most people don't leave. Great place to work.

A typical day at MCC involves assisting students at the Center for Academic Reading (CAR) in reading comprehension, which includes understanding their assignments, interpreting literature, crafting sentences, proofing and classroom dialogue. Students in the Car remind me that intelligence and learning styles does not fit one model. The workplace culture is influenced by the CAR's management style of trust in the professionals assisting the students. The most difficult part of the job is when there are minimal students in the CAR, and the most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that my efforts are helping students to better in the academic achievements.

Scheduled and held one-on-one conferences with college students and/or a parent/guardian to discuss career path. Assisted with and monitored completion of timely computer registration of each student’s courses every semester. Held daily meetings with students to discuss and strategize progress toward the degree chosen. Created, published, and presented guidance materials to the department chair for each of the nine majors for use by enrolled students to aid their course progress.  Supported the department chair and all teaching faculty by taking responsibility for the annual organization and execution of open house enrollment workshops.

this site is very helpful. it teaches you how to map out and structure you resume before the employer can view it. great site. Monroe community college is one of the high lights of my life. going to school in the same place I work, around my schedule was perfect. I was doing work study so only had a certain amount of hours a week. right now I am no longer there due to the budget cuts on the financial aide. hopefully next semester I can get more hours in September. I love working there, the staff and boss, as well as the workers were a pleasure to work with and to be around. I still visit even though I am not taking summer classes.
