Title: Job Opening - part time technician
Post by: Bryan on 2004-11-22T16:03:30-06:00 (Monday)
The OIT customer support center is currently hiring for a part time level 1 pc technician.  It's a student employment position but you get paid more than minimum wage (although not much).  It's basic desktop support for about 1,300 machines campus wide.  Apply online at the cougar job finder.  Check Cougar Job Finder for more information, they will start interviewing next week.

I've been working here for a year and am quite pleased.  While I haven't learned a lot of technical knowledge, I have learned a lot about how a job in the real world works.  Plus it's a very good resume builder, they work around your class schedule, and most of the other employees are all very cool.

Where in the Couger Job Finder is it? I looked for it but couldn't find anything. Then again I might just be looking in the wrong place. Also, you said it is a part-time postion, but how many hours a week is that? Some employers have different ranges for this. Thanks for any additional information you have.

I'd apply if I get to call the FBI and fire someone when a student comes across an anonymous ftp server.

Do I get to play first person shooters while I wait for people who cannot understand e-mail to call?  ;-)

I'll ask that you refrain from mentioning "nessecary work applications" such as those until the person has been hired, we don't want them knowing too much about the "requirements" of the job.


edit: in all seriouness I don't want people thinking this is a slackass job, it is a real job and has some real responsiblities.  You will learn a lot (some more than others) and you will have some fun in doing so, everyone in the office is really cool and a lot of fun to hang around with (I mean hey come on I work there right?).  However don't apply thinking it's time that you will be doing homework and playing games.  Granted there are times that games get played and you will come to truly appreciate those times...because you'll be working your ass off the rest of the time.
