PainfullyVivid What can I use these points for? o: Hiiii. I was thinking about trying out for an RA position, but I kind of figured I wouldn't be hired because I have no prior work experience. Though, at the same time, there are some places I really wouldn't want to RA since a lot of people in my dorm took advantage of our RAs because they were friends and would blatantly drink right in front of them even though they were underage and in the common area. XD Which obviously could get the RAs in trouble and fired since they wouldn't report it.
Well, I would say go for it! I didn't think that I had a great shot at the job because I had never lived on campus (I was a commuter for two years). I had two years of experience with freshman orientation as a student leader, and 4 years experience at my retail job. I had the toughest interviewer, and apparently I had some of the best comments and he gave me a definite yes. So it is possible, even if you think it isn't!
Yes, it is a bit intimidating knowing that. But the RAs were hired for a reason, and if they weren't willing to report that, well, maybe they deserve to get fired. They're student leaders, and you have to accept the good [being a resource for students, planning out floor activities/programs, hanging out with cool people] and the bad [doing incident reports, lockouts at 4am when you have class at 8, busting your floor].
So I would say go for it. If your school has a freshman orientation program, DEFINATELY go for that first. I feel like orientation really laid down the foundation for me and prepared me to take on ResLife. biggrin
Sorry for the book haha.

XDD; So, priority would probably be given to people who have some experience. But I might try next year if I don't plan on living off campus. I know they are desperate for RAs because some people at my university just want to be at the desk.
I've been thinking about doing the freshman orientation program. I'd have to see if they make you pay for housing then and if I could even find summer classes to busy myself with. My university kind of sucks in the summer class department.
