Student Assistant
March 2021 • Arlington, TX
What I liked
The supervisors are all extremely helpful and supportive.
What I wish was different
Since it's a student position, hours are limited to 19 and there isn't a ton of room for vertical movement since it's assumed student assistants will be rotating out rather frequently and therefore can't be considered full-time staff.
Advice
You get to meet a lot of interesting people and learn about disabilities that people have and how to accommodate their needs. Understanding and patience are both paramount.
