My shift was overnight and began and ended with swift, careful and consistent labor to ensure all tasks were completed before I left the building. I learned more about the culture of the college as I had some interaction with staff and students during my shift. The grounds were enormous and although I worked within a team, I very seldom would see my colleagues. This was indeed challenging due to the required tasks that needed to be complete and the communication effort involved to ensure everything and everyone finished their assigned work. I made it a point to touch base with fellow employees and offerred my assistance to those who needed the extra hand. It was rewarding each night to complete and help fellow employees and feeling the sense of community with employees, students and faculty I encountered each shift.

As a student worker, I helped switch out one third of all of the computers on campus. I boxed up old computers and set up new computers on both the University’s St. Paul and Minneapolis campuses. I learned a lot during, including how to domain and install a computer. I took initiative, looking to see what needed to get done, such as computers that needed boxing, and boxed them up myself without being asked by my supervisor. I also developed interpersonal skills and teamwork while working closely with a small group of three other student workers. We had to work together to solve problems that came up, and communicate with each other in order to get things done efficiently. We communicated who would do what when we changed out computers. One worker would set up the monitors, while another would stack the computers on a cart, while another wrote the asset numbers on the boxes. We developed a system by the end of the summer that made us switch out the computers efficiently.

I thoroughly enjoy working in the Development Office. My supervisor is very understanding that I am a full-time student and allows me to choose my own hours. My co-workers are also full-time students so it is nice to be surrounded by people in the same position as me. I have made lifelong friends at this job and was introduced to people that I may not have been friends with had I not started working here. A typical workday consists of scanning documents into the school's database for future retrieval; entering data about students, parents, and donors; delivering mail to other offices on campus. I developed a quicker, more efficient method of scanning documents into the database without having to print it on paper. This saves resources and time by cutting out unnecessary steps and sending documents directly to a digital folder.

The team of employees in generally made up of college students ages 18-23. Since we are all enrolled at the same university and around the same age, we all have similar mentalities. It is easy to get along with everyone and have fun while working. Our boss encourages us to be friends and socialize, while at the same time maintaining a productive work environment. If you ask to try something new and gain new skills, management and other employees are readily willing to teach you. Members of management are very approachable and willing to accommodate you, within reason.
A typical day at work consists of preparing and cooking food in the campus restaurant. I have learned many skills in cooking, people skills, time management, etc.

I had a niche job that was unfairly compensated. I learned an exceptional amount of practical organic synthesis (as much as a 3rd year graduate student). Unfortunately this is near impossible to explain on a resume without obtaining an interview and actually speaking to another chemist. I would not go back and change anything but hope that in the future UST will understand the level of responsibility this position requires and compensates correctly. This job is stressful, fast paced and dangerous. Supposedly this position has not increased the compensation in accordance with inflation over the last 7 years. JTI is wonderful but UST should treat its employees with more respect (one would imagine they have the $$$).

The role and environment at University of St. Thomas is very open and supportive. Management is taking the efforts to embrace new trends in education and attracting the candidate pool. Some programs may not cater to students "being more employer ready" for the current job market. Faculty is learned, but appears as if the work environment does not seem challenging for them to prosper.
Students from different countries add to the diversity initiative- so the interactions are very realistic and insightful. Career fairs at UST are great and cater to students through majority of the programs.

I have very few hours, and the work is not very challenging. A very friendly and positive environment. I work for the Stress Management team, and the Sleep Promotion team. We coordinate events to promote healthy lifestyles for students on the St. Thomas campus. 

The hardest part is the most enjoyable, I give presentations to different classes about Mindfulness Meditation. It pushes me to be a better leader and advocate for holistic health.

As an introvert, this position is ideal for if you enjoy a low-key type of job with highly flexible hours (small two hour shifts, with no ceiling to how many shifts one can work in a day) in which you can complete homework in the lulls and just talk with fellow students about things other than coursework. A friendly and upbeat team environment, along with leadership training benefits, if one so chooses to opt into leadership training events and seminars. As the face of the university whilst on shift, a highly rewarding experience!

I love working at Tommie Central. I answering question and phone calls when I work. I interact with people a lot. I improve my language skill, gain problem-solving ability, and being positive. I have a good relationship with my management and my co-workers. We want to everyone in our team to be successful. We tried our best to help each other. The hardest of part of this job would be finding solutions for random questions. But this is also the most enjoyable part. I like the feeling each time we solve a challenge problem.
