The most important mindset I convey to my students is the awareness that their reading acquisition and writing skills will enhance their chances of success in almost every area of their life. Acquiring knowledge through reading comprehension and formulating one’s thoughts into a written expression are the cornerstones of academic and professional achievement. Most students who comprehend the content of their reading and effectively express their ideas in writing become competent learners in other academic areas, and this process often helps them navigate success in their professional lives. Therefore, as an educator who is committed to the success of my students inside and outside of the classroom, I guide my students accordingly and offer instruction that enables my students to become competent readers and writers. 

In an increasingly technological world where much money is made by deciphering genetic codes, designing artificial forms of intelligence, engineering "smart" cars and the like, the ability to communicate effectively with others has gained in its significance. One might even say that the ability to express ideas clearly and even beautifully is a vital necessity for success and the importance of which would be dangerous to overlook (unless, of course, one were perfectly happy skulking around at the bottom of the heap). Students might possess any number of abilities and skills in areas other than writing, but without a firm grasp of their language and the skillful means to express themselves, whether in a love letter, inter-office e-memo, or technical prospectus, they may not command attention or regard for their ideas. The 21st century is being hailed as the Information Age as well as the Age of Technology, and it’s my job as an instructor to make sure my students realize that the global airwaves are already jammed with billions of voices. In order for them to succeed, they must aim to stand above the crowd and be heard. They will want to be smart, sleek, stylish, daring, and in command of their communication skills.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The love and support of the teachers and faculty made working at MSJC one of the greatest experiences of my life.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working with MSJC is making sure to participate and keep to the schedule.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
MSJC is a learning environment always geared towards teaching. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up be kind have a refreshing, friendly good morning with the other Student Government Association members. Check emails, return phone calls, and check the list of activities for the day so I will know my duties and what is expected of me.

After all the checks it's time to meet up with the team to discuss old/new business. Get engaged and be open to listening to ideas as to how to make student life better for our on-campus community.  Take student concerns seriously. Write notes and communicate those notes to the staff that could help to make the changes necessary for the student body to function smoothly.

I was a student/worker, consequently, I had the opportunity of taking my general education classes and other classes at the regular schedule. Between my classes I worked in the business area classrooms. I practiced my English language with my supervisor, professors, and other students whenever they needed assistance with directions in the area. I would typed questionnaires for a computers' instructor and maintained four classrooms clean and organized. I learned to use a paper copier and scanner. I met students from different cultures and with different personalities and disabilities. I enjoyed working with all the different kind of people. I had spent many years taking care of my family and did not work for a long time. Therefore, I was very happy for having the opportunity of working again.  Not having the opportunity of keeping the job is the hardest part of the job.

   Lower pay but compensated by insurance coverage if you're fulltime.
   Working with students can be both a blessing and a curse depending on their aptitude and desire to be there or "just pass"
   But onto the main meat and potatoes.  This job can be taxing due to the weird flux/dichotomy of responsibilities you have in comparison to the professors. You may run the lab and are (as of my working there) going to be out with the students but its the professors decision on certain safety protocols to follow but to another degree, you area also held to duty of care for other aspects. This along with hierarchy on who you report to can make everything a mess.
   Aside from that, its a fulfilling job with slight variance in what you do week to week due to the semester lab schedule. Though, more man power feels like its needed. There is only 1 tech for morning and 1 for night. If your co-worker is sick, hope for the best that someone can fill.

Since Audio Technology was my Major, this is the perfect place for me! Working with fellow students and our staff of instructors was always a pleasure. A typical day would include assisting students with class projects, including helping them select the right Microphone, Music, or Sound Effects, assisting them with recording, editing, or production techniques. I would also write, record, edit, and produce public service announcements that ran on our television and radio stations. The hardest part of the job was having to go home!

MSJC is a great place to work.  The environment is very positive and the work is fulfilling. The bottom line is the students, that's what the employees are ultimately here for.  The Community College gives people second chances, third chances, multiple chances to restart their live.  It's rewarding to meet people form very diverse backgrounds and form good relationships with them. I truly enjoy the people I work with and serve.  The hardest part of the job happens only during the first few weeks of the semester when life on campus gets really busy, but it's handled efficiently and effectively.

A typical day involved assisting students with enrollment , registration, and application for financial aide. The most valuable and useful lesson learned while employed as a mentor was dealing with a variety of situations and people, solving problems and appreciating the college experience. Management provided assistance in extreme situations, encouraged employees to do their best and supported a self -sufficient work environment. Trained new hires on enrollment processes, financial aide applications, and orientation.

The academic counseling department fluctuated from normal balanced day serving students to being extremely busy due to new student enrollment and registration time. The culture was customer service based with many variables and problem solving situations that had to be handled professionally. The hardest part of the job was dealing with students who did not abide by the rules and policies of the college. the most enjoyable part of the job was helping students complete their enrollment process, and successfully get registered in the classes they needed until graduation.

I worked as an online tutor for two years. I would check with my managers before work and during my breaks. During work, I would either be on ZOOM or Pisces communicating with students who need help in particular subjects. You had to be good at multitasking, and your communication skills were vital. I loved working with different people and helping them get what they needed. It was challenging to meet their needs at times, but I could work through it with excellent communication. 

Started the day by making lesson plans and setting up the room for the customer service students.Taught a comprehensive course on customers service to 30 re entry to the work place students.I also designed and wrote a curriculum for a barber course complete with test and extra educational informational activities.I didn't have any co worker except my boss .the hardest part of this job was having to leave it because the state pulled the funds.The most enjoyable part of this job was being able to excel at teaching .
