<p>This is an excerpt from this job application I found for an on campus job. I really don't know what to say to this. I'm not applying for this job, I'm contemplating getting a job on campus probably in the next year though. </p>

Scenario: A student walks into the office and demands that he/she be moved from his/her dorm room to a different one because of a roommate conflict (differences, etc). After explaining to the student about our policy, the student refuses to leave the office. </p>
<p>What would be your next step in handling this situation?

<p>How would you answer this? Call security? I dunno lol. Use force? lol jk about that.</p>
<p>1) Do your best to calm the student down, reasoning with him/her.
2) Give him/her numbers to call if there any further problems (at least under the pretense that you are trying to help him or her…establish to the student that as a student worker yourself, you have no immediate control over the situation).<br>
3) Talk to your supervisor/manager and have them deal with the situation if it is too unmanageable.</p>
<p>Tell her to file a complaint about her roomate and have him/her removed or reprimanded unless correcting his/her bad habits, explaining that it would save the hassle of moving out anyways.</p>
<p>Try your best to calm them down while explaining the proper channels to go through (Roommate, RA, housing office). If that doesn’t work, ask them to leave. If that doesn’t work, go to your management. If the management is unsuccessful, call security.</p>
<p>Give them some busy work: forms to fill out, channels to go through, numbers to call, redtape to climb over. Even if all of that does nothing for their problem, it gets them out of your hair. ;)</p>
