FEATURE | NGG Establishing priva By Russell Conover + WEnewsmagazine Living with a single person for an entire year of college can be difficult. Arranging to live with someone you know helps, but people often get paired together randomly, forcing two complete strangers to become compatible living mates for a full year. However, by working together, roommates can build relationships and trust without invading each other's privacy. The questions on the Residence Hall Agreements enable students with similar habits and preferences to be placed together. In order of priority (from highest to lowest), these questions are * Do you smoke? Do you object to a smoking roommate? What are you sleeping habits? What are you study habits and study environment? What are your cleaning expectations? How do you feel about other students socializing in the room What is your music preference? These questions are reasonable ones to ask in order to try to pair similar people. Because they mainly cover Peoples daily behavior, they are not overly invasive into students privacy. In fact, the questions are only the | start when it comes to getting to know your roommate. Breaking the ice with person you've never met before can be difficult, but asking questions such as these provides a reason for conversation and allows you to learn more about the person with whom you'll be living. In addition to learning more about your roommate, building trust with im or her early in the year can strengthen your relationship. A good starting point is honesty. Rather than beating around the bush and saying what you think your roommate wants to hear, being frank and honest is a better idea so Be informed before the interview By Jessica Cregger WCnewsmagazine It's about that time of year again when seniors scramble around to get everything ready for graduation. In order to graduate, seniors have to pay application fees, make appointments with their advisors for degree audits, order caps and gowns, order announcements, and so on. For most seniors, the reality will hit about finding a job, somewhere between applying for graduation and actually walking across that stage. It's a long, not to mention hard, process. There are drafts after drafts of rsums and cover letters, and there are job searches, job fairs, and interviews. It can get tiring after a while, as many of you know. Landing that dream job isn't easy! Shortly, those graduating in December will be going to some interviews, and possibly those graduating in May will have some in the Near future. It's important to prepare for these interviews, not just by writing down answers to some guaranteed mostasked questions like Tell me about yourself, or Why should | hire you?" Seniors should also know illegal questions that employers are not allowed to ask and also how to handle | them should they find themselves in that situation, One question employers are not allowed to ask is if you've ever been arrested. Sure, college students can do stupid things at times, such | 8 setting off fire alarms at 2:00 in the morning, having a simple prank go bad, or getting a litle out of hand at a party. This shouldn't keep you from being hired if you're smart enough to work around it. Employers are allowed to ask if you've ever been convicted of a felony. Of course, that question is always followed by a statement that a conviction will not disqualify you, but realistically, why would they hire you over someone with a little cleaner record? So even though employers aren't allowed to ask you if you've been arrested, there is a small chance that they will ask. if you really want the job, don't say the question is illegalchances are they already know. Simply reply by turning your previous situation into a good one, for example, Yes, (insert situation) was really immature of me, but it taught me a valuable WesternCarolinian icy and trust with your roommate that each of you will be open about what you need and want. By telling your roommate the truth, both of you will be more comfortable and willing to spend time together during the school year. Sharing a room often involves sharing possessions as well, Both roommates frequently use various appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and microwaves. While both you and your roommate can use items such as these in the room, itis important not to damage or excessively Use these things so that you and your roommate can have equal access to the common items. Although certain items may rightfully belong to different People, establishing guidelines for sharing these items helps you and your roommate to trust each other. Aso, itis important to allow your roommate some privacy. Doing so {is not always easy because dorm rooms are rather small in size, but being considerate of your roommate's wishes will help you both. It is important that you not become dependent on your roommate for entertainment or companionship because then he or she might feel like you are smothering him or her. College is an ideal place to meet new people and get involved in some fun events, so while building a relationship with your roommate is important, getting out and experiencing life on campus is also an excellent idea. Living with a roommate is not always an ideal or easy situation in which both people are comfortable. However, building trust and establishing privacy guidelines are important in order for you and your roommate to be Content in the same room. By working together with your roommate, you can {get along well in the dorm and possibly develop a long-lasting friendship. lesson. Tell them what you learned from it and how it made you a better Person. You may eam some respect if you play your cards right. Another question employers should steer away from is if you're married or if you plan on starting a family in the near future. Like it or not, this type of question affects women more so than men. No company wants, ogo through the hiring process only to find out that the person they hired is three months pregnant. While i's not a good idea to apply for a professional job right before you'd have to quit, some people might do so for the medical insurance. If you're asked about family plans, just say that you and your spouse agree that your career is just as important as theirs. This lets them know that you're serious about working for them. A question that is becoming more and more important is one that regards your place of birth. Employers are now more aware of illegal immigration than ever before. Interviewers are not allowed to ask where you or your parents were bom. They can, however, ask you if you can Provide proof of your right to work in the United States should you be hired, It possible that you were born in another country but are a United States citizen. It's also possible that you've eamed a green card and United States citizenship. in fact, there are a number of possibilities that affect your right to work, but being of a different culture or race should not prevent you from {getting the job you want. If employers do ask you where you or your family Were born, tell them you can verify your right to work in the United States. Never lie about your right because sooner or later, they will find out. Getting ready to head out into the real worid is not easy. Perhaps the job interview process is delayed if you're making plans to attend a Graduate school or further your education a different route. Either way, being informed about your privacy rights would be a smart thing to do. It Never hurts to know too much, especially when it comes to competing with twenty other people for the same job.
