On Campus Student Employment

Working on campus offers students a variety of benefits. You can earn money, gain skills, explore your interests and augment your academic program while demonstrating your abilities and work ethic without leaving campus. Additionally, you will work under supervisors who support student academic success. You will learn time management techniques enabling you to better balance your course work with your job.

How will a job fit in with your personal and academic goals?

Consider positions that could contribute to your experience or résumé. How would an employer view those experiences if listed on your résumé or application? The money you make might not be as important as the quality of the work experience you will be receiving or the network of references you will be building. 

What skills do you have? What skills do you need?

Knowing yourself is the most important step towards choosing an appropriate student job. The best approach is to apply for jobs that you are qualified for as well as ones that offer training and/or experiences you want and need. Many students acquire important technology, communication, and life skills from student positions.
