What's the hiring status?
What are the duties of a TA? TAs assist students with technical problems using lab computers and accessing online services. They staff the Student Computing labs and the Student Computing Help Center in Barnard. Student Computing TAs also assist with Student Computing events throughout the year, including SOAR, Explore UNC Charlotte and various other college orientation sessions. Will being a TA fit with my school schedule? We will work around your school schedule; just let us know the hours that you'll be available. Your academic needs will take priority. How hard is it to be hired? Unfortunately, we can't hire everyone who applies. There are usually well over 100 applicants every semester and each applicant is considered equally. If you do apply and do not get hired for that semester, keep an eye on the hiring status and apply again. What knowledge is required for this position? You should have some familiarity with computers and the computer labs environment (49er Express, Banner Self Service, University email and the University network). However, communication skills, attitude and work ethic are more valuable to our team than technical knowledge. Does my major affect my chances for employment? Communication and interpersonal skills are considered above technical ability. Working on a Master's in a technology field doesn't mean you're the perfect TA. We try to employ students from many different majors in order to have a diverse staff with a wide range of skills. How often does hiring take place? Usually, hiring occurs twice a year. However, employees graduate every semester, so openings can be available at any time. Check the current hiring status on this page regularly. |
