How to Find a Job

Having a job as a college student, if you have the time (but who does?) is a life-saver. You have more money for more top ramen!

Here are some tips at finding a job:
1. Word of mouth. Ask around! There are high chances that a friend might now of something open.
2. Look at the VERY beginning of the semester or at the end if you are staying for the next semester. It will be harder to find one in the middle or in the first month of the semester because a lot of jobs on campus will be taken.
3. Look on campus and off-campus. But if you'd prefer not working fast-food or retail, look on campus first.
4. Look at your school's online bulletin board for on campus jobs and other odd jobs.
5. Be professional. If you get a job interview, dress nice and be prepared.
6. Establish and maintain good relationships with your teachers. They could always end up offering you a job as a TA.

Good luck!
