This is probably the biggest news of the month. UTTV’s member structure has changed in order to be more productive and provide members with more fun stuff to do. Now we have Teams, about five of them to be exact: Marketing, Design, Production, Admin, Social. All members are required to choose three positions within a team they would like to have (in order of preference). Once you tell us the positions you want, we’ll try our hardest to get you two of them. No matter what position you get, you can always use us for references for future jobs (remember that!) and we’re glad to write reference letters for those who do a good job! 
Choose three positions from below… Most job titles are self explanatory, though the ones I felt weren’t clear are given a small explanation. Some things are strangely titled such as “gatherer of new contacts”; just remember your job title can change to something that sounds cool like “outreach manager” ;), always for something that looks fantastic on a resume/CV. (Sorry about the bad formatting below, I can’t seem to fix it)

That’s it! Now note that there are frequent team meetings and members of that team are required to show up, about once every 1.5 weeks and on St. George Campus (most likely Robarts). They will be scheduled with the coordinator or the group to fit around your schedule. Also, you’re allowed to choose positions in different teams if you want. Lastly, if you feel you want to be something up there but don’t have any experience, it’s fine. We expect zero experience anyway, we’ll teach you from the ground up (though prior expertise always helps). As long as you’re enthusiastic, that’s the only requirement.
