Center for Student Businesses, UMass Campus

Primary job responsibilities;
Consulting for student run business, People's Market. This includes being responsible for documentation and timely reporting of financial figures, attending mandatory meetings, prepare budgets for business, and communicate between business and the university.

I would my experience as excellent and I would recommend this site to other students because it gives you real experience in running a business. I was given more responsibility and freedom than I had expected which was great!

To future students I would advise that any real world field experience is much more beneficial than classroom knowledge. Interaction with people in the business and approaching real life problems will give you a great advantage over your peers when you are competing for jobs.
