Institutional Advancement Worker

May - July 2019 • Roanoke, VA

What I liked

Flexible Schedule, Housing Provided ($25 a day). Good work environment, Professional but personable staff and colleagues.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have had more hours (limited to less than 30 hours a week).

Advice

If you can work on your university campus for a summer, do it. It gives you excellent experience, especially if you want to work with educational institutions, and while there isn't room to move in that position right then, it could possibly guarantee you a job on campus after you graduate.

Student Financial Aid Counselor

The office atmosphere was so much fun and I enjoyed learning about collegiate financial aid.

I wish I could have done more in the office, I had a lot of free time where they didn't need any help.

Advice

Inquire about the workload of the position. Had I known there would be so much down time I would have added an online summer class.
