Unlike many students today, I am paying for my own schooling and supporting myself year round. In order to do this, I found a job before I even stepped foot on campus and, in the process, found Sloopy’s. Sloopy’s is the diner on campus and it is where I have worked since my first day at Ohio State. It is where I have met many friends and learned leadership. At Sloopy’s, I am a Student Lead meaning that I am a trusted employee who takes on some of the more difficult tasks within the restaurant, including training new employees. However, Sloopy’s also helps you build interview experience because every semester you have the opportunity to apply to be a Student Manager and you have to go through a formal resume process. As stressful as working in dining services can be sometimes, I think working within the university has improved my work ethic and leadership skills.
