- Assisted employers - HF Systems
- Assisting employers with any duties required to carry out was rather intriguing
- These duties included: restocking shelves with computer-related items, observing, and aiding with computers and laptops that were being built (adding components and wiring e.g., CPU, GPU and RAM) and helping to find small parts in large storage areas
- Sorting out 100 invoices and basic tasks like making tea and fetching lunch were also required
- I learned many new skills from this experience and now understand how small computer businesses operate
- This working environment was all but new to and adapting to it wasn't easy at first
- From this work experience, I also saw the practical side of computer science as before this experience my knowledge, in theory, was better, lacking in how to put a computer together and make it run physically
