IT Support (Current Employee) – Auckland, Auckland – 30 March 2017
Auckland University of technology has been a major breakthrough in my life. It has been a stiff learning curve as I have been familiarised with many aspects of an IT industry. Not only I have done masters from this university which allowed me to gain a good knowledge in the domain but also has provided me with multiple job opportunities. These opportunities have given me an insight of how the student should be groomed into an industrial professional. It is apparent that because of an excellent management the workplace culture is a treat when it comes to ticking the box for the job satisfaction. The most enjoyable part is my current job with AUT as an ICT lab Assistant. Here I get to shine my two edge sword comprising of both Technical background and improvising on my communication skills.

This has been a rewarding job in many ways; I work with very hands on people. They are not like normal academics even though many of them hold PhD's.
School Secretary (Current Employee) – Auckland NZ – 12 November 2015
This has been a rewarding job in many ways; I work with very hands on people. They are not like normal academics even though many of them hold PhD's. I have been here for such a long time it is like my other family. I work with over 128 people in this School. I can and do many jobs and am adept at learning new skills or even how to operate new office equipment. If there is something I don't know I will easily find out and the staff expect that of me.
My interaction with students is also something I enjoy. The company as a place to work is good. I rate this place and it is because I hold them in such high esteem that I have remained here for 16 years.
