why should I do it?  

still need some convincing? don’t worry, we can convince you – here’s 7 reasons why you should nominate yourself. 

1. change some lives 
   you could improve the lives of all KU Students and make your Union a better place. if you’ve got some great ideas up your sleeve, this is the job to make those ideas reality. 
    
2. roles for every type of person 
   wanna bask in that spotlight? prefer to be working behind the scenes? luckily for you, the 8 roles cover needs that suit you. find out more on the roles up for grabs here. 
    
3. only happens once a year
   not everyone gets the chance to go from studying straight into leading a charity (that has a turnover of £1.6 million a year – not to brag). There’s 8 roles and this only happens once a year, so don’t throw away your shot. 
    
4. flex on your CV
   you’ll develop super important communication and leadership skills, which makes you more employable and puts great experience on your CV. anything to make your CV stand out from the crowd!
    
5. make some £££
   with great responsibility comes a salary. don’t worry, we don’t expect you to do it for nothing - our 4 officer roles are paid £22k a year (Trustee roles are voluntary, but still look great on your CV!)
    
6. not ready to leave uni yet...
   are you graduating this summer but not sure what you will do next year? nominate yourself for one of our officer roles to work with us for a year - gaining key skills and earning a salary, all without having an interview!
    
7. it’s a challenge – but it pays off 
   we’re not gonna pretend it’ll be easy all the time – but at the end of the year, you’ll be able to look back at the changes you’ve made and nothing beats that!
