Jobs at Cornell Cinema

We are accepting applications for the following positions
for Spring Semester 2012:

Office Assistant

Cornell Cinema Office Assistants help with the daily and monthly operations of the office and promotion of films. Responsibilities include (but are not limited to) filing, data entry, answering phones, flyer distribution and mailing in a fun, artistic and busy atmosphere. Commitment is 6-8 hours per week, with 3-4 hour blocks of time during the workday (9am – 5pm) necessary. Work-Study or Cornell Tradition is strongly preferred for this position.

Box Officer

Sell tickets, discount cards, and concessions to patrons in the Willard Straight Theatre. Commitment is 2 shifts per week. Working on weekends is required. Applicants must be Cornell students. Work-Study or Cornell Tradition is strongly preferred for this position. Preference will be given to applicants who are interested in working over the summer, or continuing in the next academic year. Work-Study or Cornell Tradition is strongly preferred for this position.

Volunteer Ushers

Ushers arrive early, help set up, rip tickets, watch the film, and help clean up at the end of the night – and, beside a free uniform (a snazzy Cinema Staff T-Shirt), the use of our industrial-strength flashlight, and our unending gratitude. Commitment is one night (both the early and late show) a week. You do not need to be a student for volunteer positions.

Computer Guru position

Cornell Cinema is searching for a talented, motivated computer support assistant to help update and develop our website and database infrastructure, and implement new ways to use technology to promote the Cinema's screenings (Twitter, and Facebook for instance). Some knowledge of Perl is important (the current infrastructure is perl-based) and experience with Macs is required. Experience with database management and scripts are required. Work-Study or Cornell Tradition is strongly preferred for this position.

All positions receive a free pass for two to all regular Cornell Cinema screenings!
