3. Student applicants for a part-time job at the ARC need a set of core competencies to be successful. The most important skill an applicant can have is the ability to help and talk to others. Hundreds, probably thousands of individuals use the ARC’s facilities daily. In addition to basic social skills, basic computer knowledge is necessary to admit students and other members into the facility and use the facilities computer systems. Furthermore, employees should have a rather general understanding of how to use and maintain exercise and weight training equipment. Obviously, life guards for the pools and weight trainers have to have a particular set of skills that require greater knowledge about safety and fitness. Overall, the skill set necessary is not all that unique. If you work well with others and have basic computer knowledge, an applicant should be quite successful.
Overall Synopsis:
Overall, these two Campus Recreation buildings offer a number of similar activities and equipment choices. However, there are some differences. It is our opinion that both ARC and CRCE attract two fairly different crowds. By that, we mean that users of these facilities typically choose to use one or the other almost exclusively. Each advertises itself to a specific group(s) of individuals.
In addition, the two facilities offer different resources and amenities. For example, ARC offers a number of multipurpose rooms, has a rock climbing wall, indoor and outdoor pools offering both swimming and scuba lessons, several basketball/volleyball courts, and thousands of square feet of weight training and exercise equipment. CRCE on the other is a bit smaller in terms of its overall size. It does lack some of the amenities that the ARC has--possibly due to the recent renovation at the ARC. Furthermore, it is our opinion that CRCE tries to advertise and meet the needs of families and children. Unlike the ARC, the indoor swimming pool has a water slide and diving board. In addition, there is a sauna and hot tub at CRCE (ARC only has a sauna).
