Building Manager
May 2018 • Grand Junction, CO
What I liked
I liked getting to know my boss and other co-workers, as well as felling a sense a pride when helping people out at the information desk. Also I liked the quiet atmosphere of the university center.
What I wish was different
I wish my boss would have scheduled me earlier than expected. She had made the honest mistake of mixing my summer availability up with my old job in the Game Room. So I was short two weeks of work. I wish i would have asked her about it, instead of waiting two weeks.
Advice
Get used to hectic moments when working, sometimes you will get a confusing question or request that has you in a bind. Or it gets busy with people lined up for orientation or other events.

Peer Tutor
August 2016 • Grand Junction, CO
What I liked
Chris is a wonderful boss. She understand that we're students first and is more than willing to work with our class schedules. I also love being able to help my fellow students; being a peer tutor is an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling job.
What I wish was different
Nothing. Honestly, this is the best job I've ever had.
Advice
If you are a peer tutor, don't be afraid to ask your fellow tutors for help if you get stuck helping out a student. You don't have to know everything, and showing your students that its okay to ask for help shows them that they're not totally alone in being confused.
