Commitment
Commitment
By applying for an All-OSCA position, you are committing to fulfilling the job in its entirety, including completing the entire term. You may not apply for a position if you knowingly anticipate being unable to complete the entire term (for reasons such as going abroad, etc.).
Interview process
Interview process
You may be asked to sign up for an interview time. Interviews are open for any OSCA member but must have at least five (5) voting members. At least one of these members must be a member of the General Management Team. The person who currently holds the position, if possible, shall chair the Appointments Committee. Any others required to sit on an appointments committee are detailed under the “Appointed by” section in the position’s job description. Although informal in dress and setting, interviews are expected to be conducted in a business-like fashion. Expect friendly, relaxed interviewers, but “real” questions.
Work hours and co-op credit
Work hours and co-op credit
Because All-OSCA Staff often fulfill more than a regular amount of hours of work per week, they receive credit in their co-op. Most positions are full credit, which means that all of your co-op work credits are fulfilled by your All-OSCA position (except for one crew each week). Some All-OSCA positions are half-credit, and still require that you sign up for hours on your co-op’s workchart. Check the job description to see if you are applying for a full- or half-credit position.
Time aid cannot be used for All-OSCA credit hours. Time aid must be worked out individually with your co-op and the hours you would commit to there.
PRIORITY PLACEMENT FOR ALL-OSCA STAFF
PRIORITY PLACEMENT FOR ALL-OSCA STAFF
All-OSCA Staff receive priority placement from the OSCA Lottery and Wait List into the dining co-op of their choice, which ensures that OSCA staff become members of OSCA.
General Management Team positions allow you to receive priority placement from the OSCA Wait List into the living and/or dining coop of your choice.
No person may receive priority placement from the OSCA Wait List into Third World Co-op without first having been accepted (by application) into TWC; All-OSCA Staff who are interested in Third World Co-op must apply to be members of this co-op. Due to the nature of the safe space for people of color, minority, and low income students, the membership of Third World Co-op chooses its own membership. TWC applications are available online.
