Empowerment Tip #19: Empower Yourself FINANCIALLY by applying for a position with Campus Rec!
Campus Recreation is looking for summer and fall 2011 employees!
But how do you go about getting such a cool job?
First of all, attend the Campus Rec Job Fair Thursday, March 31 from 3- 6 p.m.
Wear PROFESSIONAL attire and bring a resume if you have one.
Coming to the Job Fair ensures one on-site interview for every interested student. Those who seem like a good fit will be called back for a second interview.
What exactly is a “good fit” for SFA Campus Rec?
Different program areas require different skills and interests, but here are some general tips:
One common quality of Campus Rec student employees is a POSITIVE ATTITUDE. We pride ourselves in creating an enjoyable atmosphere with excellent customer service.
Campus Rec employs about 200 students every semester so another expectation is STRONG COMMUNICATION skills. It is vital that student staff members get along with each other and communicate effectively.
New employees are not expected to know everything but they must be WILLING TO LEARN NEW THINGS. One of Campus Rec’s goals is to develop students professionally so they will be prepared for the real world after graduation. Student staff must be open to receiving help and advice as well as expanding their scope of skills.
When I came to the Campus Rec Job Fair two years ago I was looking for nothing but something to fill my extra time with. Two years later I have a direction for my life and many new skills to add to my resume. It wasn’t always easy, but I listened and learned and soaked up as much information as I possibly could. So BE COACHABLE…not a know-it-all.
Remember to express your LUMJERJACK PRIDE. In a sense, student staff members are ambassadors for the university, so make sure you can handle the responsibility of bleeding purple every day.
Before applying, think about out your schedule and decide whether you can make a TIME COMITMENT to being a Campus Rec employee. Supervisors are always flexible with your school schedule and any other commitment you may have, but make sure you can designate a reasonable amount of time to the Rec Center.
Be willing to WORK HARD. It’s a part time job so be willing to give it all you’ve got. Think about what you’ll get in return: respect, friends and great references.
If you possess these qualities than it’s safe to say your chances of employment with Campus Rec are pretty good! So come to the Job Fair March 31 from 3-6 p.m. and give it a shot!
