Be a 'DiggerDialer!

Phonathon Callers
Need some extra cash?  Or perhaps you want a flexible, on-campus job?

If you are answering YES to either of these questions then The Mines Fund's 'DiggerDial Program is just the job for you!

We are always looking for friendly, responsible, outgoing students to contact alumni, friends, and parents. As a part of our important program, you'll raise money for The Mines Fund, as well as capture personal information so we can better keep in touch with our valued supporters.

By joining the 'DiggerDialer team, you will make an immediate difference in the Mines education that you and your peers receive, all while acquiring excellent communication skills. You will help the School raise funds for scholarships, updated technology, new facilities, respected faculty, and lab equipment, just to name a few areas The Mines Fund supports.

What, exactly, will I be doing as a 'DiggerDialer?

You will work in a relaxed student-run environment a minimum of 2 nights per week. Our shifts are Sunday through Thursday from 6-9 pm. You have the option of choosing which 2 nights fit best into your schedule.

You will attend several training sessions and will learn how to interact with alumni, friends, and parents. You will also learn how to use an automated call system called DialVision. Imagine…you won’t even have to dial the phone!

Most importantly, during each call you will update personal alumni information, answer any questions about Mines, inform alums about any new happenings, and secure funds for your very own school!

What does the job pay?

A non-work study position, you will make $8.00 an hour the first semester. A performance raise of .25 is given each semester if you consistently meet goals and attendance expectations. In addition, bonuses and incentives are given regularly because hey, we know that everyone loves a little competition. Rewards keep callers on their toes!

Some other benefits of the job are immeasurable. You will gain invaluable communications skills that will give you an edge in the “real world.” Talking to strangers is an art form! You will also make some potential connections and network with some very influential people.

And on the most basic level, the job is easy! You get paid to talk on the phone. So, what are you waiting for? Make some extra spending money by joining the 'DiggerDialer team!
