Getting A Job

A student's primary resource in finding a work-study job is the Work-Study Jobs section of the Work-Study Web site. The student can search for both on- and off-campus jobs. On-campus jobs are searchable either by department or by job title. Off-campus jobs are searchable by organization. Each job lists the department, job title, a brief description, a list of desired qualifications, the pay rate, and contact information.

Individual employers may also post flyers around campus or place an advertisement in The Daily Northwestern.

When a student finds a job listing of interest, he or she should call or e-mail the contact person listed and arrange for an interview. If the interview is successful, the student may be hired for the position. If the student is not hired, he or she should continue calling employers or ask for assistance from the Work-Study Office staff.
