Heard Rutgers is hiring SORA Security/Event Staff through Andy Frain Services (www.andyfrain.com). Don't have any more info.
Rutgers is hiring event staff--$17.50 per hour

Heaven, do you know if Frain has the account for hoops? Just received my SORA in May as a stepping stone back into the job market (MBA, MS, BS and real estate license) Ran into the recRUiters when I went to pay for/pick up my season ticket. For football don't want to miss the tailgating (that is to some extent networking and my only real social life). Basketball (much higher ticket prices) is a different story.
Thought I asked the recruiters if they had the hoops account. They either said no or they didn't know. However one of the two security guards who I used as my "motivation" (one was going to be a cop but was hired by the IRS in the same building) says "yes" and he seems to be excited about the prospect of working such.

Wow! What bugs me is that they all wear different colors. There are guys in orange, blue, yellow, wtf??
Ash,If I had to guess, I would say yes. I wish I had more details for you and others. Just something I heard about. I am NOT sure if these would be the right people to call/email,but here are the people in facilities,Events, and Operations--http://www.scarletknights.com/school-bio/facilities-operations.html
I've been asking the same thing re pay as I'm new to the field but I asked one of the girls who was applying with me (coincidentally she had worked with them). She said Frain paid more than any other agency she has worked
Its not the easiest of gigs for football. The 1st two games were HOT (especially game 1) and I don't know how most made it through (maybe that's why there R openings). At least in the stands you can drink as much water as possible, get into the shade and do whatever to stay cool.
RE SORA pay from what I know (inc ex-cop instructor who taught maybe 6 of 20 hours he should have) the top pay is if you have a gun permit/instruction. Don't know if the NRA classes suffice but ive seen them on groupon. ***From what my ex cop instructor told me basically it's the ex cops and contacts who get the plumb top SORA jobs. Lots of burnt out "older" type cops like SORA jobs because they are easy (piece of cake vs being a normal cop)with little stress.
My FIL just retired from COP for a large PA city and I know he used to pull OT doing concerts and such back when his girls were little. He wasn't making much and his wife was a stay-a-home so they needed it to make ends meet. He said if he gets bored he may actually go back to doing it again. His brother was also COP and the head of SWAT for the same city and does PI work so he could always do that as well if he gets bored.
Yes I'd rather avoid our long RUnning Assistant AD of Facilities other than perhaps tell him the story when i ran into someone he knew just as he was becoming a RU "hero"-see my post in other thread:
1)Had economics with him and he hated me thinking my football discussions with the prof were only to brownnose him. Much longer shot he was part of a plot to steal my econ book to keep my grades down/help the other players in class on the team.
2) As someone who aced the class (with a great recommendation for grad school) while he earned a C or C+ (admittedly tougher for a team member) , drives me nuts hes making 6 figures (another RU administrator I'm as capable of -perhaps here w the training) and I'm being supported with housing.
For many security type positions it seems one doesn't need a SORA. One of our crew (Piscataway Mike's cousin then then daughter who started at age 16-17) IS A HS PRINCIPAL and does security in summer for PNC Bank Arts Center. He doesn't make much but likes to see the bands (I STILL like the idea of that gig but always lived, in my mind, a bit too far for little money). Ditto some of the local hospitals who train their own force (RWJH at Somerset and Morristown for sure).
With the ex cops I don't think its boredom. I think being a cop-at least in a city-is anything but boring. Often full of stress. From speaking to the instructor? it seems the problem with cops is burn out. A lot of these cops see a lot of BS (some may have a type of PTSD) and are ready to crush skulls. The smart? ones walk away and a SORA combined with a hefty pension/disability in some cases? makes for a very nice, low stress retirement.
Some R regular staff (i.e. work the top of the sections), some (blue I think) are managers, yada. Admittedly, hard to miss!
