- interacted and helped with all incoming students (new and transfer)
- networking opportunities around campus (met and familiarized a lot with higher up people)
- worked with great faculty and student coworkers
What I wish was different
Nothing to change
Advice
Be flexible and prepared for anything. This job requires you to handle a lot at once (think organized chaos) and you have to think quickly on your toes and react to different situations and people as they come. There is no one way to do this job so you just have to figure out what works best for you that still lets you work with your coworkers/bosses and gets the job done effectively.
