Student Assistant
September 2017 • San Bernardino, CA
What I liked
My employer is very flexible with my work schedule. If I am overwhelmed during finals week, they don't hesitate to give me time off.
What I wish was different
Student assistants aren't valued as much as the full-time employees.
Advice
Don't quit in the beginning! When you first start, the other student assistants will give you the garbage work. As you gain seniority, you will start getting the more interesting projects. Also, it becomes easier. There is a lot to learn, but it becomes very easy with time.
