What I liked

I like the schedule flexibility since I’m a student. I also like the connections I get and the practice I get with stepping out of my comfort zone. I also love the creative aspect of the job.

What I wish was different

I wish the maximum hours I can work each week could be more for when I’m out of school. I also wish I felt more prepared, for example, there’s a lot of public speaking involved which is hard on my anxiety sometimes. There’s also a lot of traveling involved to different high schools and events. I also really wish parking was easier and more affordable for staff.

Advice

I would suggest to anyone interested in a job like this to make sure you’re prepared for the public speaking. It requires a lot of socializing which can be hard for anyone with anxiety. Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions!
