We are letting people know who we are and what we do. Oakey said he guesses student interest in SNL jobs has increased by 50 to 75 percent this year. We need more people. One of the unique aspects of SNL expansion is the diverse backgrounds of its recruits. Submerged in an industry focusing on money, a majority of their employees do not hold any type of business-oriented degree.
Many employees graduate with English, history and government degrees.
It's the best of both worlds. SNL also is recruiting part-time employees heavily. Fair began working for the company last fall, and he said he has seen his importance and responsibility grow dramatically. Everyday, I see the life of UVa students after they've graduated and are living their lives. That will be us.
