Being a Junior Officer is one of the best ways to get involved with ACM. Junior Officers get the advantage of a lesser time commitment (which varies based on your role) while still getting the advantage of leadership, professional development, involvement, collaboration experience, and much more.
What does being a Junior Officer entail?
Making great relationships with Senior Officers and building your soft skills!
The officer you shadow will work with you to explain their responsibilities and give you responsibilities of your own as you feel comfortable.
Trouble using ACM's communication platforms?
No worries! Once you spend some time chatting with everyone Slack/Notion/Discord are easily navigable.
How much time to commit?
This will be determined by the position and how much you are willing to commit. The membership can see this and will determine who can/will be voted on in the year's election.
When do you need to be available?
This will be dependent on who you shadow, after being onboarded to upload your weekly schedule to an official ACM account through Google Calendars.
How competitive is the process
Depends on the position and a few other factors. Some positions we look for candidates that are strongly able to contribute or have a relevant background. Some positions we just look for candidates who seem to be motivated. Some positions we just look for the right personality. Its also a matter of space - some positions we need tons of candidates for and some we don’t.
Don’t let this scare you at all from applying though - again, most Junior Officers have absolutely 0 experience. We even have quite a few non-Computer Science majors! Typically, if you select a few different positions, we’ll be able to find at least one you fit well with.
Whats the interview process like?
After you apply, if you seem like a good fit for one or more of your selected position and we still have availability, an officer will reach out for a quick interview where we’ll determine if you’re a good fit for any of our positions. Then, you’ll be referred to the officers for the top position where they’ll determine from there whether or not they’d like for you to be a Junior Officer for them.
At least, this is how it typically goes - things can always change 🙂
