R2026106624 Student Staff Assistant - Graduate (Open)
Colorado State University
The Department of Computer Science seeks a reliable student staff assistant (SSA) with initiative and the ability to work independently and with a team. The successful candidate must possess a professional appearance and manner, excellent customer service skills, and the ability to maintain confidentiality. It is essential that the SSA have a positive attitude, a welcoming presence and be comfortable working with a wide diversity of people.
Our SSAs possess strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to multi-task, with a willingness to follow directions. Additionally, the position demands strong verbal and written communication skills, proficiency using Outlook email, internet search engines, software such as Microsoft Word, basic Excel, PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams. Experience writing organizational scripts is preferred but not required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The SSA should be willing and able to learn new systems and software. After training, the SSA will be expected to multitask with minimal direction and learn new tasks while working independently, prioritizing more important tasks during their shift.
As we invest time in training our student staff assistants, we seek applicants who are committed to remaining with the department throughout their academic journey, including breaks and summers. Freshmen and Sophomores with Work-Study are encouraged to apply. The work schedule is flexible according to each student's class schedule and the department’s scheduling requirements.
