Minimum of 20 hours weekly (4 hours shifts M-F) with the opportunity for additional hours including some nights and weekends with given notice. Shifts available throughout morning and afternoon starting at 7am with the last shift ending at 9pm.

Hourly rates start at $14/hour for part-time messengers. 

Responsibilities include delivering interdepartmental mail for Senate offices, labeling mail-out projects, and assisting Senate offices with any clerical help they need in the Capitol complex. Messengers assist in a variety of tasks including answering phones in Senate offices, working Senate Committees alongside committee clerks with handing out materials, and occasionally honorary events in the Senate Chamber. Thorough training is provided through shadowing until the employee is comfortable navigating the State Capitol.

Self discipline in adhering to strict Senate policies and procedures is required. Punctuality and an excellent work ethic are strongly desired, and a strict dress code of business professional attire is enforced. No degree required. Students from all fields of study encouraged to inquire.
