What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Cape Breton University is being part of a vibrant, inclusive community that values diversity, innovation, and lifelong learning. The university fosters a collaborative environment where employees can contribute to meaningful initiatives that positively impact students, faculty, and the broader community. Additionally, CBU’s commitment to professional development and its supportive, customer-centered culture make it a fulfilling place to grow both personally and professionally.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
While Cape Breton University offers a supportive and inclusive work environment, the most stressful part could be managing the high expectations and demands of balancing multiple responsibilities. This might include handling large data sets, coordinating interdepartmental efforts, and ensuring exceptional customer service for students, faculty, and the public. Additionally, adapting to the evolving needs of a diverse community while maintaining confidentiality and efficiency can be challenging. However, these challenges also provide opportunities for growth and problem-solving in a dynamic academic setting.

I had the opportunity to represent all First Nations students that attended CBU.  Having sat on the student union for 3 years was a learning experience.  Teaching and sharing the knowledge and understanding of the First Nation student body that attend the University was a bit of a struggle, the ignorance was still there, at monthly meetings I would bring forward the concerns the FN students brought forward.  Many of the concerns had been addressed and dealt with.  Having host many cultures events within the University has also help the whole student body, also inviting the students and union reps to the Unama'ki College which is part of the University and meeting with the students openly, hosting treaty month and other important ceremonies that we have, many included singing/drumming and dancing in our traditional regalia and foods.

At CBU everyday was more friendly and fun with lots of people around me. Being a Marketing Analyst I was trained in such a way that I talk, talk and talk more friendly with fresh mind so that I don't feel the work pressure. 

I learned how to provide customer service through my calls and conversations with the clients everyday, and I also feel so much blessed and thankful for the organization who trained me in such a way that I won't feel left alone. People around me were so much friendly and fun loving and I should say that I was enjoying and treasuring my time when I worked as Marketing Analyst. 

The most effective part of the Job is dealing with clients who were not interested in the research survey or analysis and at the same time the most enjoyable part of the job is convincing the clients and creating the curiosity in them about my research findings. 

it was a project under the marketing research center in the Cape Breton University, the project was about marketing and analyzing a new technology called carbon capture and storage, where carbon coming out of the chimneys and wastes from big plants and manufacturers are captured and stored pumped to the soil, which in turn benefit from it, this process eliminate the harm of the CO2 in the environment.

I left salary and advancement out because this was a one year student position. I also left work/life balance out because I did not have the duties of a full time professor. My coworkers were great, the professors really helped me in preparing materials for students and giving me more knowledge.

You put in what you get out. On the other hand putting in a lot of work will still result in students that should not be in your classes. Nobody really cares what you do, as long as students are happy the world just keeps spinning. 

Senior lab facilitators provided lots of support when needed! I was an international student and I was not confident about taking this job. However, my supervisor and co-workers are all very support and helped me a lot. I really appreciate it!

Very good place to work excellent leaders to work for.  Continuous opportunity to work on communications with staff and students.

Management of our department is very easy to work for and always willing to listen to suggestions to improve working conditions.

My colleagues were exceptional, the job was fantastic!  I would definitely work there again.

Working with both international and domestic students were the highlight of my day, especially when I could solve their problems easily.  Sometimes all anyone wanted was someone to listen to their issues.

I volunteered for Community Innovation and Social Enterprise conference.
Responsibility:
1.	General assistance with conference and event preparation
2.	Served as a referral and resource person for conference participants
Work closely with the management staff to ensure the quality of our conference
