Cons of being an RA
its a lot of work involved
time-consuming
can’t have an off-campus job, but can have an on-campus job

I even did research for y’all so I didn’t miss anything important

How to become an RA
Requirements:
have previously lived on campus

for my school:
lived on campus for at least 1 semester
in good academic standing GPA 2.5

Normally there is an application process and an interview

Now at my school being selected is a 3 part process:
1. Application - really tell what inspires you to be an RA, do some research
2. Group Process - do research beforehand, be yourself, listen to others, make yourself heard, agree with someone else, disagree, be respectful of others ex you know Charlie I understand why you would say that, but what I would do is ….
3. Panel Interview - do research, practices your answers or responses, (in a mirror)
about 4-5 people

be knowledgeable on diversity within the student population
sometimes, don’t answer right away - think about the question first
why do want to be a RA
what aspect of the position are you looking for
what’s your greatest weakness?
whats your greatest strength?
when was a time you did not succeed? - tell a story about it, but end with what did you do next.
