Candidates are not guaranteed their choice in an area of placement regardless
if an individual was a resident in the requested building. All candidates will
be
in a broad candidate pool to be placed. Placement decisions for all Resident
Advisors
will be based on a variety of factors that will make community staffs strong
across campus and meet departmental needs.
The Residence Life Professional staff will look to match qualified candidates with community and staff compositions that will best support the academic and living-learning outcomes for our resident students. Each candidate will be assessed for strengths and weaknesses in job performance and matched with a community and a staff that will enable that candidate to be successful as a Resident Advisor.

Will I have to stay at Emory during the breaks?
The residence halls are open during Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break and Spring
Break. Additionally, Clairmont Campus is open during winter break. Because we
do
allow
students
to
remain
in
the
halls,
we
ask
that RA are available for those students. You are not required to stay during
all
of
the
breaks; however, you will be asked to be on campus during at least one of the
breaks.

applications is January 30, 2008.

Candidates are required to be in good disciplinary standing with the University.
All candidates having a prior disciplinary history during their tenure as an
Emory student should share that information during their interviews. Having a
disciplinary history with the University or with the department does not eliminate
a candidate from consideration, but the nature of the incident(s) may have bearing.
All candidates’ disciplinary history will be checked with the Office of Student Conduct.
If I'm hired, are there any committments for me this spring?
Successful candidates will be asked to attend both a welcome reception and spring
staff orietnation. Newly
hired
RAs
will
be
asked to attend a welcome reception on February 28, 2008. Spring Orientation

staff
members
(both RAs and SAs) will be held
on April
13, 2008.

How many Vacation days do I get if I work for Conferences?
Can I take summer school classes if I work for Conferences?
If you are hired for a University Conferences
position on the central campus, you may not be enrolled in summer classes or
hold other employment.The nature of the Conferences positions is that the schedule
for the employees varies from week to week and thus it is not possible to cater
to a summer school schedule or other employment schedule.
If you are hired for a University Conferences postion on Clairmont Campus, you may request permission to enroll in summer classes. You, however, may not hold outside employment. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
If I work for Conferences can I move directly from my spring semester room to my summer housing? What about in the fall?
Yes. You will be able to move directly from your spring semester housing to your summer housing. This move usually takes place a few days after graduation. At the end of the summer, you will also be able to move into your Fall semester housing early. If you room is not available right away you will be able to stay in Alabama Hall until your room becomes available.
How many Vacation days do I get if I work for Conferences?
You are allowed four (4) vacation days. If there is an event over the summer
that will cause you to be away from campus for longer than four days you should
speak with Jane Hershman in the Office of University Conferences before applying.
If you have questions about summer positions, please call the Clairmont Campus Community Office at 404.727.8830 or check back on this website in the spring. Details will be posted then.
