Student Organization Resource Center (SORC) Positions
Clerk C
Clerk C position is a desk attendant at the Student Organization Resource Center (SORC). During the school year, this office is open 10AM-8PM Monday through Thursday, 10AM-6PM Friday.
Clerks complete contracts for SORC services and materials, provide publicity consultation, answer phone calls and emails, refer customers to appropriate university resources, assist guests with copies and faxes, handle money, monitor inventory, prepare balloon bouquets, and carefully process materials submitted by customers for posting by field crew. Excellent written communication skills are crucial, as face-to-face contact with other staff members is minimal.
Clerks must be willing to do unexpected tasks as delegated by the managers. A passion for neatness and organization is essential. This position is the foundation of the services that the SORC provides. It fosters invaluable customer service and problem solving skills that you will use in almost every job in the future.
Motor Vehicle Operator (MVO)
The number of hours for this job are quite flexible; you may work as few as 4 hours a week or as many as 12. SORC is open 10AM-8PM Monday through Thursday, 10AM-6PM Friday. However, MVOs work in the field, and this happens on evenings and weekends, or as needed by clients requesting balloon deliveries. MVO work is primarily:
- Sundays between 10AM-2PM
- Mondays after 5PM
- Thursdays after 7PM (rotating weekly)
- Balloon deliveries as needed by customer demand
- These shifts are filled by a team of drivers, so you do not have to commit to working every shift every week.
Using a university vehicle for transportation, MVOs work with a team of 6-7 other student drivers to distribute advertising items for student organizations and UM departments. Work includes:
- Stapling canvas advertisements onto plywood boards (and removing old ads)
- Attaching and hoisting banners onto steel poles (and removing old banners)
- Placing bus signs on university buses (and removing old ads)
- Placing "table tents" in acrylic sign holders in University Unions buildings (and removing old ads)
- Occasional lifting and repair of 6 x 4-foot plywood Diag boards.
In addition to placing these advertising media, MVOs are also responsible for delivering balloons to multiple campus and off-campus destinations. Although SORC is closed on weekends, we deliver balloons as needed, 7 days a week, almost any time of day; this is based on customer demand and varies greatly from week to week. Typically, all MVOs will have an assigned delivery day. This would be a day on which your class schedule is light; it sometimes requires early morning driving (not every week).
Work also includes basic maintenance of van and equipment.
