        Pros

        Lots of options for work - if you want a job you can get one. Loved working in the library, and some other departments on campus. Dining services is rough and everyone is required to work there the first year.

        Cons

        Minimum wage, lots of variation for different jobs (even within one department). Luck drives most of how you'll like your job.

              Business Outlook

              Pros

              Super easy job, great boss (sweet, chatty) working for fantastic professors who usually ask very little of student employees- looks good on a resume, particularly the administrative duties. Hours are very flexible and tailored to your schedule- once you get this job, you have it for the rest of your time as a student unless you really mess up.

              Cons

              Pretty low pay for students, minimum wage, but if you're just looking for spending money it isn't too bad. Can be a bit boring if you don't have any work to do to fill your time, but I usually have a great amount that I have to get done so I'm never unoccupied.

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

                      Administrative Assistant

                      I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.

                      Hey all, I’m looking for advice on program manager hypothetical interviews such as: “what would you do if X happened?” Is there a particular thing or core value that Bloomberg looks for? Thanks!
