I wish the pay would be higher, but I still love my job.

Handshake is so easy and efficient to use, I can easily apply for anything. Now that I have a job for school I am not applying for internships through handshake!

Student Employee

April - October 2019 • Pittsburg, KS

What I liked

I love working in this department. This was meant to be an on-campus job throughout the school year but ended up including summer hours as well. Being able to work during the summer was highly beneficial and helped pay for summer classes.

What I wish was different

There was nothing that I would have changed. This job gave me insight into secretarial duties as well as big picture aspects like Career Fairs and Student Etiquette Dinners.

Advice

Working in this department has given me great skills, especially proper phone etiquette. Talking over the phone can be difficult, but it is important to make a genuine connection with the other person and show them that you care.
