Becoming A Student Assistant

1) I believe that there are many reasons why I want to be employed by the Chico State Success Center as a student assistant. I feel that it would be favorable to work at a place such as the CSSC. First off, working at the CSSC would be very helpful for future jobs as well as my career to learn what is expected of me in an office setting in terms of standards and how to act professionally for future jobs. Secondly, having a job as a student assistant at the CSSC center, I will not have to worry about hours being as sporadic each week as much as normal jobs off the Chico State campus.

My last example of success in my life is being more outgoing and being able to hold a conversation with I person I just met a few minutes. When I was younger I was very shy and could not even look people in the eye when I was talking to them. I realized, I needed to talk to more people to combat my shyness
