On-campus jobs are a fantastic solution to the part-time job dilemma many students face while in college. Working at the Spoonholder, Hyper Center, or Bucks saves gas money, and is a great way to earn money while socializing with fellow Morningside students.<\/p>\n

But just like any other part-time jobs, on-campus workers have a few things they wish students knew. We aren\u2019t just student workers; we\u2019re people just like you! Give us a break.<\/p>\n

Tips from Admissions tour guides:<\/p>\n

–Say hi!<\/strong> Nothing kills a tour with a prospective student like walking past current students who seem unfriendly.<\/p>\n

–Hold a door<\/strong>. Walking backwards and reciting facts about every building on campus isn\u2019t easy. It really helps us out if you\u2019ll open or hold a door for us. Plus, it impresses the families and students visiting campus.<\/p>\n

–Pipe up!<\/strong> Have you got a positive thing to say about Morningside? Chime in! Tour guides generally don\u2019t mind having third-party input.<\/p>\n

Tips from Front Desk Attendants<\/p>\n

–Remember that we aren\u2019t R.A.\u2019s.<\/strong> We don\u2019t have keys to your room. Don\u2019t get upset that we can\u2019t unlock your door for you.<\/p>\n

–We also aren\u2019t Campus Security.<\/strong> We have to man our desks. We can give you numbers to call an R.A. or Campus Security, though!<\/p>\n

Tips from an R.A.<\/strong><\/p>\n

-We aren\u2019t dumb.<\/strong> Yes, we know what you are doing. No, you aren\u2019t getting away with anything. We have procedures that we have to follow if you break rules.<\/p>\n

–We\u2019re here to help.<\/strong> We\u2019ve been trained in dealing with relationship and friendship problems, as well as other situations that require mediating. Let us know if there is something we can help with- make our training useful!<\/strong><\/p>\n

-Share your creativity.<\/strong> If you have ideas for a cool bulletin board or hall activity, let us know! It\u2019s good to have input from residents as opposed to R.A.\u2019s making all of the decisions.<\/p>\n

Tips from Tech Services<\/p>\n

–Save yourself a trip<\/strong>. If your wireless isn\u2019t working, make sure that your wireless switch is turned on. If your computer won\u2019t turn on, make sure the battery is charged. Make sure you install your updates frequently. We see lots of silly problems like this!<\/p>\n

–We\u2019re good, but we aren\u2019t miracle workers<\/strong>. Some computer problems take a few hours to hash through. Don\u2019t expect to drop of your computer, wait for five minutes, and be on your way. Give us an afternoon and we\u2019ll probably get it fixed.<\/p>\n

Tips from Campus Security<\/p>\n

–Keep a spare key for your car in your dorm.<\/strong> We can\u2019t open every make and model, so it\u2019s better if you have a back-up plan and use us as a last resort.<\/p>\n

–Don\u2019t tattle.<\/strong> There are some things that you\u2019re better off telling an R.A. Roomie conflicts are no fun, but if no rules are being broken, we really can\u2019t do anything for you.
