The last job I had is the current one I hold as a Learning Assistant in the Math Department here at OSU. I don’t have a copy of the job description, and I honestly do not recall if there ever was a formal job application that I filled out. I remember submitting a Qualtrics survey expressing my interest. I was recruited to apply by my math instructor because I excelled in her class. The job was to be a learning assistant for MTH 111, and I had seen the positive effect the LA in my class had on me and my learning experience. I was aware of what the job entailed because I had seen it in action. The responsibilities of the job included attended each class session of the course and answering any questions from students while they were working in their course notebook. It also required having a meeting with the instructor once a week to prepare for the coming material. I submitted my interest for this position over three years ago, so it is hard to recall. Each term since then, I have resubmitted my interest if it fits in my schedule. The requirements and job description has not changed much, if at all, since I first applied. It was fairly accurate to the job description. Of course, it has changed slightly since we are doing remote learning. Instead of walking around the class room to answer students questions, I move from breakout room to break out room on Zoom.
