The first thing I do is to check my clipboard for the day's list of activities, class and/or event including times, venue and the materials/equipment needed, and the desired/requested set-up. Then I collect everything on the list and deliver to each activity and complete the necessary set-ups. After which, I make a list of items delivered and indicate for pick-up. I do the pick-ups after each activity. Everything needs to be done in a timely manner. Everyday is not completely the same. I need to be ready for last minute changes/requests.

I have learned to prioritized depending on the scheduled time and importance of activity/event, I have done this a lot more effectively and efficiently.

The management and co-workers are friendly, supportive and a tight-knit. Because of their positive feedback and guidance, the work seems easier and less exhausting.

The hardest part of the job is when there are too many activities happening at once and I need ti finish all the set-ups and deliveries before they start. But I seem to finish everything before then and never once been late.

Apart from the positive environment, the best thing about this work is the continuous learning.

Like all post secondary institutions at this stage of the game in the 21stC, there is a bad ratio between number of adjuncts (with little job security, no access to benefits) and actual full time faculty. Anyone familiar with this problem will know what I am talking about, and how this undermines the social work culture of any institution over the long term. Be on guard and don’t stay too long, cultivate other relationships at other institutions  so perhaps you can come back and apply for a real position. I was there at a good moment, and prospered, but that was a while ago.

I worked at Emily Carr as a Sessional Instructor for about 5 years, when they were situated on Granville Island. Students were some of the best I've ever had. Colleagues were supportive and often worked as collaborators. Facilities were a little old, but that's no doubt any longer the case since their move to Great Northern Way. The only downside was the salary. Sessional Instructors get no benefits and pay is the lowest of any school I've worked at in the area. That said, if you can get a full-time position there, it would probably be much better.

I worked as a student tutor with little supervision, just answered a few questions here and there. Good for students because its at school and gives you some experience somewhat related to your studies. Probably the easiest job I ever worked.

Excellent education in the field of design and exhibition curation. My team building experience involved working closely with students and educators in making an excellent educational platform for the community of Emil Carr and Vancouver BC.

The people at ECU are very nice and accepting.
The company benefits are the best I've ever seen.
The job itself was very challenging and I learned a lot.
Many changes are happening at this time; the campus just moved from Granville Island to Great Northern Way.

Unfortunately I cannot find anything good to say about working here. I cannot be complimentary nor can I be objective without using an expletive. 
I would not recommend anyone talented take on contract work as it will not benefit your career.

Appears cold and off-putting with the white walls and affluent image, but it is actually a very kind hearted and collaborative university with plenty of potential and growth.
