Administrative Officer - Examinations & Course Profiles
I format and edit exam papers for the University of Queensland's School of Economics.
I am the exam guru. My work load fluctuates, building up from the beginning of each semester with a final push to hit deadlines as the semesters conclude. I primarily liaise with Professors, assisting with publishing course profiles prior to the start of each semester and collecting exam drafts for review. I also work with outside vendors and other units across campus and cover other administrative duties as needed.
Here's the first step for professionals
Higher education administration is so diverse, the more diverse your skills, the more opportunities you will find. A University is often like its own little city, so no matter what type of background you have (non-profit, marketing, teaching, administrative, etc.) there is likely to be somewhere your skills can be utilized.
