Hey there! I'm a junior and I'm exploring whether I should think about getting a part-time job while in college. Does anyone know which companies have the most current college students? I mean, companies that offer part-time jobs that could suit a student's schedule.
Sure, there are several companies out there that are well-known for employing college students and accommodating their often-fluctuating schedules.
1. Starbucks: This renowned coffee chain offers flexible schedules and, impressively, also provides the "Starbucks College Achievement Plan," a program that offers eligible partners (employees) the opportunity to earn their bachelor's degree with tuition coverage.
2. Apple: They offer a College Program that provides part-time employment with flexibility around your course schedule.
3. UPS: This company is known for its part-time job opportunities, and it also provides a tuition assistance program to help with college costs.
4. Barnes & Noble: Not only does this company offer work with flexible hours, but they also often have locations close to college campuses.
5. Retail outlets: Many clothing stores and other retailers such as Gap, Old Navy, Best Buy, and Trader Joe's, commonly employ students in part-time roles. They often offer employee discounts as perks.
6. Local restaurants or cafes: While not corporations, these small businesses are often hiring part-timers and offer flexible hours for college students.
Remember, look for jobs that align with your course of study if possible. A job in your field of interest can provide valuable experience and insight. Be sure to check out your college's job board or career center too, as they often provide resources specifically tailored to students. Good luck in your search!
