Job Humor
Hey, students. It's great to see you back here at Job Humor. I hope you've been practicing the Rules of Calling and Waiting for the Elevator over the past week because I'm about to throw a few stones in your path by giving the proper rules for Boarding the Elevator. Pease don't take these as a joke. Job Humor can be Job Helpful. Read on to see why..
This week's topic: Boarding the Elevator
Allow Them to Exit
While waiting to board, stand AWAY form the door opening. DO NOT board the car unless you are sure no one is getting off on your floor. If there is someone exiting, allow them to clear the door before attempting to board.
Check the Direction
To save yourself from embarrassment, always check the direction of the car before boarding. If you cannot see an indicator lamp, politely ask the riders of the car which direction the car is traveling. DO NOT stop the doors from closing to do this.
Crowded Elevator
To determine whether you should board the car, determine if there is enough room for you and your buffer space. As a rule of thumb, there should be room for two people for every one that is attempting to board.
During high traffic times, you may find it necessary to board a car that is crowded. If there is not a verbal invitation to board, the passengers may welcome you by making room for you, consider that an invitation to board. If you are with someone else, do not assume that the invitation stands for all of you. It may be necessary to split up and agree to meet at your destination floor.
Who’s on First?
In general those standing nearest the door should be allowed to board first. Gentlemen should allow ladies to board first to the extent that this is practical.
Holding the Door
Holding the door for someone that is running toward the car is only appropriate when the car is empty or there is consensus among the passengers that it is ok to wait.
Closing the Door
Closing the door using the door close button should be done only when it is clear that no one is trying to board the elevator or when there are other cars available to go in the same direction. It is improper to close the door on someone that is moving toward the elevator.
It is also acceptable to close the door when you are in a full elevator that stops at a floor for a passenger who indicates they would like to wait for the next car. Give them a chance to make their decision to board or not to board before closing the door.
Blocking the Door
It is inappropriate to block an elevator door from the outside for any reason. Do not abuse the safety devices built in to the elevator door. Refrain from sticking feet, hands, umbrellas, briefcases or other items in front of a closing elevator door.
Where to Stand
You should stand as close to a wall as possible. Consider your destination floor and stand near the back if you are going to a high floor. If you know you are getting off shortly, stand toward the front. If you choose to stand near the buttons, understand that you may have increased responsibility.
Always allow as much space as possible between you and the passengers. Always stand facing the door.

Student Spotlight:
LaCresha Payne
LaCresha Payne is currently a senior finishing her major in Social Work and American Racial Multicultural Studies.
Through hard work in social service organizations that relate to her field of study, LaCresha has been able to create an impressive resume and earned a stipended position with the League of Women Voters.
The hard work noted on LaCresha’s resume began with her employment as an Office Assistant for the Multicultural Affairs and Community Outreach of Northfield the summer before her first year at St. Olaf. Along with another job at Upward Bound, LaCresha was able to put her major to work by creating student awareness of multicultural and social work events in and around Northfield.
Through participation and leadership in organizations such as St. Olaf’s Cultural Union for Black Expression, Taking Care of Business, and the Student Organization Committee, LaCresha gained not only more experience in her field, but also awards and honors including the Excellence in Leadership Award of Multicultural Affairs and Community Outreach.
LaCresha found the liaison position with the League of Women Voters on OleRecruiting, and with the help of CEL peer advisors she was able to solidify her resume to account for her impressive work throughout the years.
The CEL congratulates LaCresha Payne on her success and wishes her well in her endeavors in connecting the campus with the local League of Women Voters.
