GRANT MACEWAN UNIVERSITY Employer Reviews

A typical day at work, was when I was asked to do a public speaking without pre- notice. It was a challenging, but I nailed it by rendering a powerful and educative speech. I learned to be always prepared, know much about your job and be willing to uphold your company at any time any day. The hardest part of the job, was the time management. I was a – more... full time student with full school work load. It is not easy to manage the both. The most enjoyable part of the job was the 5 mintues impromptu speech with your colleagues. – less

This was a fairly informal job position. Essentially I had to directly work for a professor, recruit summer students for interviews, then conduct, record, and transcribe the interviews.
There were other students also working, but we rarely needed to interact, and when we did it was usually via email.
Hardest part was time management as I had a high – more... level of discretion with this job. Another difficult aspect was learning to transcribe interviews quickly, but it was a VERY good experience.
Most enjoyable personally was being able to work from home (when transcribing) and working with students in a face-to-face context. – less

It is a wonderful place to work. There is a great life work balance.
