| | ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: HILLSBOROUGH IS HIRING! | |
The Town of Hillsborough is looking for a Building Attendant! The Building Attendant (BA) is the person who has first contact with people coming into Town Hall for evening and weekend meetings. The BA’s main responsibilities are to direct attendees to the correct meeting room, answer questions, and provide a presence in the lobby area. A perk of this position is getting a lot of homework done while the meetings are going on! There are approximately 2-4 meetings per month – weeknight hours start at 5:00pm and could go as late as 11:00pm. Weekend events are most often held between 8:00am and 2:00pm. If you would like to earn a little income, please contact Linda Chang at lchang@hillsborough.net or call 650-375-7502 for an application.
