During my sophomore year, I got the opportunity to work for the Office of Student Life as an Office Assistant at my on-campus residence hall. When I was offered the position, I had no idea how much of an impact it would have on my experience at Ohio State. I have made multiple friendships and have gotten very close with the rest of the staff. This position allowed me to meet people in my 600+ residence hall that I would have otherwise never spoken to. In addition to this, I have gained multiple resume building skills that have been extremely helpful in my recent applications for summer Congress and other office-related internships. As an office assistant, I was responsible for greeting students and staff, handling sensitive information, distributing mail, maintaining database, answering phone calls, and corresponding with senior staff and faculty members. I believe that this job has prepared me for office-related positions dealing with customer service and am grateful I was able to be a part of Ohio State’s Office of Student Life.
