Desk Assistant

August 2020 • Boise, ID

What I liked

This job is great for students. It allows you to be apart of the Boise State community, along with meeting other students. All of the co-workers are nice and helpful, and for the busy student when it is quiet at the front desk it's a great time to get homework done.

What I wish was different

I don't think anything. The staff is very helpful if there are problems but there has not been.

Advice

There is a slight learning curve in the beginning learning how everything works, but nothing that anyone cannot master within the first week. I would also suggest to being open to meeting and getting to know everyone at Boise State and creating connections!
