Student job applications accepted Aug 19-28

Employment OpportunitiesStudent job applications will be accepted Wednesday, August 19, 2009, through Friday, August 28, 2009, for student jobs in the University Libraries. Applications can be completed on any public computer in Newman Library whenever the library is open during these days.



Student applications are submitted to the pool of applications; students do not apply for specific positions. Supervisors seeking new student employees will search this common pool of applicants. Pay rates vary with job duties and experience.

To be eligible, students need to take at last six credits for the fall semester. Other restrictions apply for international students.

Hired students will need to present official documents to fill out required tax forms. These include your Social Security Card or Passport. Leaving these documents at home will significantly delay the hiring process.

Tips for students applying for jobs in the library
Be sure your application is complete before you submit. Incomplete applications will be skipped over by supervisors.
Include your complete schedule on the application. If your class schedule changes, you can update your application during the period listed above.
Several departments that hire students are only open during regular office hours (Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm). If you indicate you cannot work any of these hours, you will not be considered for these jobs.
List any relevant work experience. Jobs that require interacting with library patrons require good customer service skills. Showing prior experience working with the public, such as retail jobs, is helpful.
Respond to interview requests promptly. Supervisors often send email to several applicants when attempting to fill a position. Waiting days or weeks to respond will likely mean the position is filled.
