Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
I had a great time with British Council as a venue staff. It depends on the person how they work in pressure or relaxation. I have learnt a lot that we should pay attention on our work only.

productive and fun work place but sometimes its hectic as well

This job is depends on a team work not only depends on a single person. Each venue has 1 supervisor and supervisor wants 3 to 4 seniors to fulfill his task. I learn to work in a team. If your colleagues are cooperative and friendly than you will enjoy this job. Hardest part of job is when there is a huge clash between 2 exams. Hardest part is also when question papers are not complete because we recieve different packets of papers and we have to compete all papers after exam uses and unused.

Pros

Short refreshments were given to us after exam duty

Cons

First aid is also provided.

Leaning with entertainment.

I worked as a supervisor at British Council IELTS Dept. A typical day started at 9 and ended at 5. My tasks were to welcome candidates and brief them about how their examination would carry out, and guide them to their correct examiner. At the end of the day all the exam material (e.g. the recordings, the papers etc.) were collected and checked thoroughly and seal-packed to be sent to UK. Working at BC IELTS taught me managerial and supervisory skills. My professionalism was also polished. The management was always cooperative, and ever enthusiastic for improvements in efficiency of their employees. My co-workers were friendly and highly motivated towards their jobs. The hardest, or the most critical, part of the job was how every task had to be on time. But all the weariness and exhaustion were forgotten when, at the end of the day, we all sat together for refreshments.
