I’m sorry your vacation is over, but I hope it was relaxing and you are all ready to get back to work. The spring semester is our busiest semester because it is when we hold our big career fair, the Newhouse Recruitment Collective (NRC). There is a ton of prep work to do for the NRC and there will be many opportunities to pick-up a few extra shifts and make a little extra $$$. We’ll get into that, though. First thing’s first... Spring ‘18 Student Staff ScheduleSpeaking of Shifts...I think we had a strong semester as a team, especially with five new staff members on board. However there are still things I would really like us to work on: 1. Be sure to check the workflow chart before and after each shift. Our closing, in particular, was a little weak. We were doing things like leaving the door unlocked, not flipping the sign, not sending appointment/seminar reminders and leaving the Keurig on. There is a sheet at the front desk to remind staff members of their shift duties. Last semester you were new. This semester you are vets. There will now be repercussions for forgetting every day tasks during shifts. 2. I don’t mind your roommate swinging by to drop something off or a quick hello to a friend you haven’t seen in a while, but there will be no more lingering. Of course your friends and classmates can work in the CDC while you are on shift, but they have to sit in the Sip’n’Study. 3. If you have a special shift, you must work in the back with me. There should never be a Mac station chair on the side of the front desk. We need to cut down on the chatter at the front desk, not because I don’t want you to all have a good relationship, but the excessive talking can be very distracting. I love hearing all about your day, but let’s not do it across Kelly’s door. 4. Please, please revisit the post from 8/28 and pay attention to the abbreviated majors and minors. We were all over the place last semester. Just all over the place. Let's tighten this up when adding students to roster's and sign-in sheets. The abbreviations are not optional. No News & Good News No News: As you may have realized, we did not hire anyone new. Unfortunately, it did not work out with either of our candidates. We are still reviewing applicants and we will hopefully be conducting interviews in the coming weeks. The CDC student staff will again be involved in the interview process and I send an email around to schedule students when I have a time. Good News: New York increased the minimum wage. You all got a raise. Yay! Back to the NRC What/Where/When: The Newhouse Recruitment Collective is a multi-day event beginning with a career fair on Wednesday, April 11 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM in the Panasci Lounge, Schine Student Center. This is the time when all students interested in the public communications field can mingle amount recruiter tables, introduce themselves, pick-up information and secure interviews for the following day(s). There will be an employer reception after at the University Sheraton. The time is tentative. The next two days, Thursday, April 12 and Friday, April 13, are interview dates at various location in Schine. More than 30 national companies will come to SU to interview students for anticipated job openings and internship opportunities. Some companies may look for interns for summer '18 and even summer '19. Companies will select which students they would like to interview AT THE CAREER FAIR on Wednesday. Kelly will make announcements and add details in CDCNews and CDCGradNews, but you can direct students to: bit.ly/nrcinfo, as well. How Does it Work?: Companies register online from January through late March. Students view the job and internship descriptions located at: bit.ly/nrcinfo.
