Selection Process

Selection Process

The selection process takes about six weeks so please plan ahead for interviews, training, and meeting sessions. If you miss any of these you will immediately be disqualified from the application process. Please note that by filling out an application and attending our Group Process Day and Interview Day, it does not guarantee that you will be selected for the position. We will keep your application and résumé on file for future openings.

Please note that if you are applying to the EHS RA position, you will need to be available to work from Saturday, May 4th through Thursday, August 15th, 2025. In addition, all hired RAs are required to work check-in weekends. These dates vary by building, but the major EHS summer check-in days are May 24th-25th and May 31st -June 1st.

Application

Complete and submit the EHS Resident Advisor Application with your resume, un-official school transcripts, two references and any papers proving that you are ok to work as an EHS RA (for international students) no later than Friday, February 7th, 2025 by 5:00PM.

Before submitting your application, make sure everything is corrected and completed. You might be able to edit your submitted application if you go back to the application link from the same computer. However, if you are unable to edit your application after being submitted, we will not be able to edit it for you. Should you need to make any edits to your application you can request for it to be deleted by emailing us at StudentLife@studenthousing.org. Once deleted, you will need to complete a new application. Changes will only be allowed until Friday, February 7th, 2025 by 5:00PM (this is when the application closes).

We highly recommend that you save your application text and answers in a separate document in case you encounter problems with the computer and lose the work that you have done in the application.

If you submit more than one application, we will only consider the first one you submitted. Therefore, if you believe you have submitted more than one at the same time, email us at StudentLife@studenthousing.org and we will delete the one you submitted by mistake.

Group Process

All applicants are required to attend an all day Group Process session on Saturday, March 1st from 9am – 6pm (more information to come). The Group Process session is designed to have current EHS staff personally meet and interact with you, as well as to give you an opportunity to get to know our team. Applicants that do not attend the Group Process Day, are late, or leave early will be immediately disqualified.

Only applicants with a complete application (including 2 references, un-official school transcript, and resume) will be invited to the Group Process. All applicants will receive an email the week of February 10th with their application status.

Interviews

Invited applicants will be interviewed on Sunday, March 2nd beginning at 9am, please plan to be with us all day. You will receive more information about this day during the Group Process. Some candidates might be called for a second interview.

Notifications

Final announcements will take place the week of March 24th. Candidates will be notified by mail and e-mail. Please note that because of the high turn out some might be offered to be placed on the Alternate List. If a position becomes available, it will be offered to the chosen alternates.
