Temporary Position #2

STANFORD UNIVERSITY
Office the Vice Provost and Dean of Research
Palo Alto, CA
10/06-10/31

And back for #2!

Since the temporary agencies I applied to in the city were not being so helpful, I had decided to apply with the temporary service at Stanford University. They loved all the extra BU activities I had done and were really helpful landing me this gig.

It's not the most glamorous job in the world but I do get paid pretty well. Officially, I am the Administrative Associate to the Vice Provost and Dean of Research. The office is pretty high up in the rankings of administrative offices (which will be great for connections).

In terms of my actual workload:
  • Work Monday through Friday 8AM-5PM
  • Perform general administrative tasks for the various staff members
The position technically lasts until October 31, but there might be a possibility of it lasting longer. I would definitely consider working this job for another month but I wouldn't take the full time position. The job is very basic and I would end up leaving it once I found a consulting job. Regardless, its a job and a paycheck.
