I liked that I started in the summer because it wasn't as busy around the office. I was able to get accustom to the environment without being overwhelmed.

I loved (and still do) The flexibility of the hours! It allowed me to work and make money but still take creative jobs on the side
What I wish was different
Nothing!

You never know what experience will lead to a job or another experience. I got this job from volunteering my time to help in the department, now I have a steady job until i graduate!

Orientation Leader
June - August 2018 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I loved my team of dedicated individuals. We all had different fields of study and were in different years, yet we all got along really well and communicated effectively. Meeting all the new students and their parents was also a lot of fun and was interesting everyday.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have worked with my team for longer!
I also wanted to hear "Find your creative crew" but it wasn't ever translated to the new students.
Advice
Do not be afraid to try it. Being an student leader can be and is intimidating but was ultimately one of the best experiences of my time at Columbia so far.

Advice
I would tell everyone to not have pre-concieved notions of what a job is going to be like until you get into the thick of it. I learned so much from this job that I otherwise wouldnt have opened myself to.
