Yearbook Positions!

Yearbook is fun but it's a lot of hard work. There are many different jobs to do and everyone does a fair share of everything, although some people may concentrate on one specific area. Most of the skills can be taught, so experience, although nice, is not required. Depending on how you are with deadlines, you may spend certain days until 6pm or later. If you are sincere and hard-working then you may be able to go home when the bell rings.

==============================

General Work Description:
The jobs which a yearbook member does include interviewing, making layouts, writing captions, taking pictures, writing copy [the segment of text describing an event], fixing computers [and other technical issues], filing, organizing and filling out business forms, and passing out papers. Most people will be expected to do most of these jobs. No one does only one thing.

All positions will be taught accordingly so experience is not required!

For those interested in Tech:
We work with only Macintosh, but that should not be a problem as long as you can follow instructions. You have constant work throughout the year, especially since you need to ship all the pages. You need some technical skills for this position, but experience on a Mac is not required. The problems are a mix of software and hardware, and you will be in charge of installing new software and setting up any hardware. Other issues you will deal with is setting up the local server and the local printer [if you do not know how, you'll be taught!].

For those interested in Business:
The business position deals with all the money issues as well as filing and organizing (orientation, homecoming dance and distribution especially). Most of the paper work is done by the Business group. We deal with buying new equipment, depositing/withdrawing money, and also homecoming dance. The business people also keep track of who has bought a yearbook and thus have a bulk of work at the beginning of the year and at the end, but also small work throughout the year.

The Yearbook Environment:
You have to be able to work under pressure with a room of 20+ loud friends. To get the yearbook to be published on time, you have to dedicate your life to yearbook (yes, I said life!). You will need good people skills, be able to work with others, and not get easily agitated.
