R.A.s are compensated for their job based on an average of 20 hours per week of work. Finally, they will attend a group process interview where they will interact with other R.A. applicants in discussions and activities pertaining to the R.A. job, he said. Jaime Okamura, hall coordinator, supervises R.A.s in their duties and interactions with fellow staff and residents. She said the interview is the most critical part of the application process. Jason Cimenski, Residential Life Coordinator, said the selection committee is looking for a wide variety of people to be R.A.s.
Introverted people have just as much potential.
We're trying to look for a population that is representative of the population in the halls. Cimenski has coordinated the entire selection process. Over the past week, he has overseen eight informational sessions for potential R.A.s. Some took place on campus and others in the lobbies of the residence halls. Cimenski also created the application forms and will look over the completed applications to help make the selection decisions.
