It's pretty easy to get involved. As far as I know they take on new ambassadors at the beginning of every year (I'm not sure if they recruit them at other times), and you don't need an interview, you simply fill out a couple of forms and sign up for work!
There are a variety of jobs you can do, from reception (welcoming people to the open days), to showing them around the town. It's the Admissions office on Butts Wynd that organise all the ambassadorial work, so ask in there. You also get paid £5.80 an hour which isn't bad, it looks good on your CV and you get to meet lots of new people! I really enjoy doing it and definitely recommend it. And wearing a big red fluffy gown strangely enough has its attractions.
Good luck if you decide to go for it.
