This past summer, I started looking online for an
on-campus job for the school year. While I was looking, there were a lot of
jobs that involved dining halls and food service, but I wanted to avoid that if
I could.Two of the summer jobs I’ve had have both involved food
service, and while there’s nothing wrong with food service, I was hoping for a
change.
I applied to seven different on-campus jobs this summer
that would either provide me experience so I could build up my resume, or they
were customer service positions, which I have experience in and have found I
enjoy. When I found out about a job in the College of Education, Health, and
Society, I was beyond excited. It was perfect.

Currently, I work in the College of EHS as a Student Reporter and a Communications Assistant. In addition to keeping this blog, I
also conduct student interviews which are put on YouTube on the Miami
University EHS YouTube channel. This week, I also began posting tweets on Twitter and pictures through Instagram for EHS.
I’m glad that I have the opportunity to do something I love
(writing) and that I have the opportunity to work with and learn more about
some of my classmates through the interviews I conduct. I’ve enjoyed working for the
Communications Team and I’ve been happy with my experiences so far.
Having a job that builds my resume is also a benefit
since none of my summer jobs have been related to my major. In addition to loving writing,
I also love photography, and with Instagram and the interviews, I am able to apply
my skills as well as some new ones that I have learned.
Finding a job on-campus was important to me and I was amazed at how many options there were on the student jobs website.
