I'm a student at CSUN, and I'm trying to find a part-time job that works with my class schedule. Any tips on where to look or specific places that hire CSUN students?
One of the first places you should take advantage of is CSUN's career center. Many universities have job databases for students, and their career centers often hold job fairs and workshops to help students find employment opportunities. They can also help you build and improve your resume and practice interview skills. You should check whether CSUN has similar resources.
In addition to your on-campus resources, networking is another great way to find part-time work. Make sure to reach out to your peers, professors, and mentors to see if they know of any opportunities. You never know where a valuable lead may come from.
Looking for a job that's relevant to your major could provide you with experience that will be valuable in your future career. Talk to your professors or the department office of your major to see if they have any leads.
Also, consider job boards and websites such as Indeed, LinkedIn, or Appily. These sites allow you to filter by part-time and can help you locate jobs in your area. Remember to use filters like "part-time", "entry level" and your location to refine your search.
Lastly, consider looking in the surrounding area. Many local businesses like cafes, restaurants, retail stores, or tutoring centers often hire college students. It might be worth walking around and applying to different places.
Remember to be patient and persistent, it may take some time to find a job that's a good fit. Good luck in your job search!
