Great learning experience, friendly people
Native Post -Secondary Education Counsellor (Former Employee), Halifax, Nova Scotia – April 24, 2013
Pros: great location
Cons: not many summer students came to the counselling unit.
I really enjoyed working with the students at Dal.. My co-workers were very friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job was the personal counseling, some of it hit home for me. The most enjoyable part of the job was coordinating various events for the students.

Pros: co-workers
Cons: no apprentiship program in place

I love knowing where – more... Im going everyday but not what exactly it was Id be doing that day. – less
