Communication
I strongly believe that being a clear communicator is major component for success within any business. Projects need to meet conceptual goals, so as a team member I understand how to communicate what needs to be done for a successful outcomes.
I worked as an IT assistant within the wiring department, helping with architecture and landscaping.  It required me to be a focused, teachable and detail-oriented person who is well able to follow directions (ex. Managing RJ-45 cabling for jacks within the university).

A weakness is that I can be so passionate about my work that I become unsatisfied until I reach a level of excellence. 
Security
I’m currently studying Information System Security and I have learned so much about protecting information.  I have great knowledge of firewalls, suspicious websites and loopholes within security.  One must have the knowledge of vulnerabilities in order to lower the risk of invasion.

I’ve also worked within the IT department (within the wireless dept.), installing UPS systems and access points along with replacing batteries by mentoring the solar wind reports.  This is important for security purposes to reduce energy usage, save money and protect the environment.  This means I helped prepare the company in case of a power outage. 

I also helped the Database manager with storing data within the Database.  I have learned how the system works with managing tapes and how to keep backup information organized.
Payment experience
I have a good credit score so I’m able I know how to manage and work with money.

Compliance
I work well with others as a team member and following directions is one of my strong points. 
I’ve worked alongside assisting my manager doing customer service in a bookstore so I have quite some experience in customer satisfaction.
I volunteered at the Boys and Girls club assisting and leading children by being an assistant teacher of gang prevention.
I have a whole person scholarship with Oral Roberts University because I am one of the few that display high levels of integrity and compassion within the community.  
A weakness in this area is that sometimes I can take on the projects of a team member that may be lacking in some areas by offering to help. 

Software Integration
I’m currently involved with creating mobile apps, which utilizes my skills in computer programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing. I often use applications using Java, IOS, XML, HTML, and PHP.

I currently use the eclipse software to manage and run applications, so I am familiar with SDK, JDK and methods that are included within configurations. 
A weakness is that I am so eager to learn applications, software and development that there’s isn’t enough time in the day.

I never knew where the week would take me. I could be in the office in the morning talking to prosepective students, going to speak at a local high school's job fair by lunch, and giving tours of the campus by the end of the day. I loved connecting with those who were about to embark on the first day of the beginning of their lives! As exciting and scary as that may be I appreciated that I could offer some comfort by taking the mystery out of it so they could be better informed and more focused. Our management team would meet with us collectively every week to see where everyone was on their goals and also to see who would be traveling into their regions around the country. My co-workers were amazing and we would help each other out as best we could and always with an encouraging attitude. The hardest part of the job was the salary we made, although I find this to be pretty typical with most college recruiters, private and public. The best part of the job was knowing that everything that I did was helping to impact the career of a prospective student that could possibly impact the rest of their life!

I taught at ORU from 1975-2006, before the reconstruction of the administration in 2007. During that time the emphasis was purely on teaching performance and bottom line economics,  rather than on Christian values. Some semesters I had to teach 7 separate curriculums in order to keep my teaching position. This was not in compliance with my contract, which was three classes only. This was done to save from hiring more faculty. By teaching 7 classes I saved the University the cost of hiring 1 1/3 additional instructors.The professors and instructors, at that time, taught out of love and compassion; whereas the administration was about expecting a miracle with no blessings from God. I have taught at secular schools where there was less faithless negativity.

I cannot give an opinion about changes made since 2007.

Oral Roberts University has an excellent work study program for it's students. It allows the students enough flexibility to manage work with homework. Working in the ORU art department is one of my favorite jobs because I am in my desired environment. I am studying Studio Arts at Oral Roberts University and I enjoy the fact that I am allowed to work in my department. Typically I clean the studios and replace tools and supplies that have been left out by other artists. There is no hard part to this job. I have a set number of hours that I am required to work weekly but I am allowed to come in to work any time that is best for me. I work typically work alone; however, I do share responsibilities with four other assistants and am happy to lend a hand when asked.

Most work days I see ten to twenty students and take twenty to thirty calls.  Some calls can be 45 minutes long, and some meetings with students can be up to 30 minutes.  
I started ORU without any knowledge of Financial Aid, I know have a full range of experience.  I have learned a great deal more than just financial aid.  I have learned that everyone has a story and that each person needs individual attention. 
 My Co-workers have been amazing to work with. The hardest part of the job, is to work with a student that is struggling to pay for their education, and to see them go deeper into debt.
The best part of the job is when a student comes to see me just to say thanks for all I have done for them.

I attended Oral Roberts University to obtain my Bachelor's degree and also worked various jobs there. The benefits of working in this same environment as my education were substantial. It helped my connection with professors and my opportunities for research and further learning experiences. The environment was friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed serving people that I knew. My co-workers were also my classmates, so I saw them very often but always enjoyed accomplishing tasks together. The hardest part of the job was balancing my schoolwork with my hours of work because of the course load I was taking. The best part of the job was being able to help my professors and fellow students.

My first week at the job was really interesting. I was newly appointed as a graduate assistant at Department of Athletics. My department works more with student-athletes on their academics. So, on the first week, I was working where a student-athlete comes and ask me about here book scholarship. I knew about the scholarship but I didn't know about the process. I had really hard time figuring it out but at the end of the day, I learned all the things that I was supposed to know about the student-athlete book scholarship. On that day I learned we got a try. 
I love the work culture based on my department. I have a privilege to meet the student-athletes and interact with them.
