Please answer the following questions in the space provided.
1) Our primary goal at the Phonathon is to increase alumni engagement in the AU community.
If you were to call an alumni, what is an example of what you would say to explain why it is
important for alumni to be engaged and why should they give back to AU?
2) Phonathon work hours take place during evening hours and employees must possess strong
phone skills to raise funds for the university. Considering these requirements, please explain
why you should be considered for the position.
3) Imagine that after your conversation with an alum, they state that they are unable to give
due to student loans. In order to continue the conversation and raise funds for the university,
how would you respond?
