HR Update
Ray Scott has been at the University for nine years. “There's a wide variety of people here. I’m a people person, and I’ve learned a lot from the people here,” he says when asked why he’s worked in Dining Services for nearly a decade.
Ray is also a music fan, which partially explains why he works occasional shifts at the Target Center and US Bank Stadium, showing people to their seats at concerts. Plus, “I like to stay busy,” he comments.
On the day of his interview, he was two days away from his shift at the Taylor Swift show. He also worked at her last show five years ago. “I liked it better than Jay Z and Beyonce because Taylor interacts with her fans. She had three different stages [in the audience],” Ray says.
So what does he do with his extra income? He just returned from a trip to the Dominican Islands, and in November he’s off again to Cozumel and St. Thomas.
And here’s another perk of working concerts: while he’s not a Swiftie, he is one of the few lucky people to be paid to go to a Taylor Swift show.
