<p>Trekforever covered it well. While the position by itself isn’t significant for resumes, it is a good jump off point if you’re interested in being a Student Leader (SL, now called Hill Government Representative) or Resident Assistant (RA). You’ll be assisting SL’s and/or RA’s with any tasks, so you’ll get to know your building staff. They are the ones who can put in a good word/interview you if you apply to become a SL (Hill Government Representative) or RA. These positions are something you can put on your resume because they develop important skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, etc. They also provide a great network opportunities because you’ll be meeting a diversity of staff and residents.

<p>I was a floor EVP my first year. Your RA will have a quick and simple application to fill out during zero week. No interviews or anything. They choose floor government based on their impression of you. So being a move-in assistant can give you a heads up over the rest of your floor if many people apply. You basically attend Floor Association meetings with the Hill Government Representatives to vote on financial proposals to proportion your residence hall’s money to various on-hill/campus organizations. They also relay any building events to their floor. EVP’s tend to have more responsibilites than the Floor President. It’s not something you’d put on your resume, but it’s another great jump off point if you’re interested in being a Hill Gov Rep or RA. Most of the HGR’s and RA’s I know were EVP’s at one point in time.</p>
