Towson University

Orientation Leader

March - October 2018 • Towson, MD

What I liked

I loved being able to meet incoming freshmen and transfer students. I also loved being an official Towson representative.

What I wish was different

I wish that the job could have been year long. I made genuine friendships with a lot of people that I won't see again during the semester.

Advice

I would say that you need to be some sort of extrovert for this job. If not, the job may be uncomfortable at times because as an Orientation Leader you are forced to talk to students and or family members.

Student Financial Aid Counselor

June 2018 • Baltimore, MD

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

When answering phone calls to customers, do not ever take their sign of distress seriously. Answer their question(s) effectively and efficiently and brush it off and go to the next person because it will drive you insane worrying and asking yourself questions, such as "What did I do wrong?" When the situation was not even about you.
