On April 7 the New England Regional group will be holding its Spring meeting at Regis College in Weston, MA where the topic will be: EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT STUDENT WORKERS (BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK!). In preparation for my presentation "HIRE-archies - Approaches to student hiring", I would like to collect from IALLers a representative sampling of job application forms and "favorite" interview questions used in the student hiring process. I'm also trying to determine the variety of student jobs and approaches there are to student staffing at various lab/resource center facilities (i.e. pre-placement of student workers by Financial Aid?, first-come, first-served hiring?, applicant pool/interview/check references/"you've got the job!" variety?, other?) I would greatly appreciate receiving (off list) at the email address below the following: (1) A short statement describing the basic approach to hiring student employees (see the "i.e." paragraph above) at your lab/resource center (Is this approach the standard in all departments at your institution?) (2) A list of the student job positions in your lab/resource center (3) 1 or 2 Interview Questions you consider most effective in provoking "revealing" responses from students ("revealing" response = good predictor of job success or failure) (4) A copy of the Job Application Form used at your lab/resource center or, if appropriate and permitted, a copy of the standardized form used for student employment throughout your institution (MS Word attachment preferred, thanks!) Thank you in advance for sharing your information. I will post a summary of the collected info. to the list or to the NERALLD website after April 7. Happy Spring Break - whenever it arrives for you, if it ever does!
