Today was my returning volunteer orientation session.
Up until this year, they were known as recruitment sessions, however now they have an online volunteer hub set-up, where I RSVPed for the session I wanted to attend.
Being a returning volunteer, I had automatic access to the session, while new volunteers have to be invited to their sessions (I almost feel sorry for them — since the online registration has created greater competition for the volunteer spots).
Anyways, the session was much more low-key than previous years. Instead of signing up for shifts, I just gave two choices about where I want to volunteer and I will pick the shifts online at a later time.
Once again, my venue of choice is the Varsity theatre. My first choice was to become a volunteer captain at the theatre, with the second choice being a normal volunteer. I have to wait and see whether I will be chosen to be a captain, though in addition to my application form, I sent an e-mail with an official inquiry to make sure I’m under consideration.

Hey!
I just wanted to pick you brain as this is my first year volunteering. What is the orientation session like? Did you have to bring another copy of the resume you posted online?
What was the dress code and what was the three Q mini interview like?
Thanks
There is no dress code and the interview has questions like why you are volunteering and whether you have any potential conflicts.Chances are, if your going to the orientation, you are pretty much guaranteed to be volunteering.
