Looking for a part time job??
Was approved for funding through school of business for some hours, plus a bigger project which will also be funded (not sure how yet, but it will be):
The job entails:
* recording homeworks etc (EXCEL)
* research (online and in library--soon on Bloomberg machine as well)
* cleaning office
* helping with Websites (FinanceProfessor and probably BonaResponds.org as well)
* dealing with administration (getting purchase orders etc).
probably 10-15 hours a week. MAINLY flexible hours. Occasionally will have to be at office when I am around so maybe 1-3 hours a week of set times.
let me know if interested. Would look good on a resume!!
Definitely do not need to be a finance major, but that can't hurt.
