MMAS Student worker
-
Jan 2010 - May 2010
This was a temporary position provided by the school while my major department was between departmental receptionists. It was my last semester of my senior year, and so well timed for me to take on extra responsibilities. My duties here included equipment management (still shot cameras, video cameras, lighting kits, sound equipment) and checkout to department students. I also managed lab access by assigning lab passes to students who needed it, and kept track of entry records. I organized submissions to our student show at the end of the semester, proof read documents and name plates for our department chair, was responsible for advertising departmental events, and there was also some data entry involved.

Switchboard Operator
-
Jun 2009 - Aug 2009
Temporary position while staff rotated vacations. Answering switchboard calls, data entry, contacting bank customers to ensure against account fraud. This position was primarily one of customer interaction, both receiving and making phone calls. I enjoyed the staff and the team work environment, and the variety of work was interesting. I took on whatever small side tasks that needed completion, and at the end of the three months, I was spanning Deposit Operations and Mortgage Management support positions. Position ended due to returning to school in another city, but resumed again that winter (December-January) when they requested that I return to cover vacations again. Show less
