Typical is hardly a word we use! As the UNC Charlotte student centers of campus, each day is different and that is what we love about our work. During each shift you will complete routine tasks and you will also assist with any unique requests for that specific day. While doing homework is permitted, your first priority while you are on the clock is your work. We do not recommend planning to get homework done during your shift.
Yes! Our Student Employee Experience Program is designed to help you succeed while you are at Charlotte. We consider our job opportunities as 'More Than A Paycheck'. We think this is a mutually beneficial relationship - you are hired to complete the necessary work for our department and we will provide you with skill development and on-the-job training to help you now and when you graduate. Beyond your work shifts we have a number of program elements that we expect student employees to participate in to add to this development. This includes trainings, workshops, meetings, online evaluations, and more.
Common skills our previous student employees tell us we helped them develop include: time management, problem solving, teamwork, and professionalism.
It depends! We staff our student employee areas based on our building operation needs. Some areas are staffed during all hours our buildings are open and others are staffed based on their specific program needs. In general, our standard shifts are 4 hours long.
Our Building Managers, Operations Assistants, and Information Center Specialists are scheduled 7 days a week - with shifts starting as early as 6:30am and ending as late as 1am.
Our other positions might have more reduced operating hours based on their program needs.
For all positions we take care to balance the hours each student employee works and to keep in mind employee preferences - some of our staff are early birds and love the morning and others prefer the late night shifts...you'll get to share this information with your team lead and supervisor as the schedule is made. Be sure to ask the hiring team during your interview if you have questions.
All of our scheduling is done in a software system, Humanity. Our teams make their schedule either every 2 weeks, every month, or per semester. Once the schedule is made each student employee is responsible for finding coverage for their shifts. There is a shift trade board in Humanity. We also know emergencies happen and your team lead and supervisor can help you in these situations.
