I'm thinking about attending Iona College and want to know more about the part-time job opportunities there. Are there on-campus jobs or nearby places that hire students?
As with most colleges, Iona College provides plenty of part-time job opportunities for students.
Within the campus, many students work in various departments, doing jobs related to administrative support, library services, IT support, or roles in the athletics department. There's a good chance of finding a working position that's directly related to your field of study, which not only helps financially but also adds to your resume.
On-campus jobs are typically part of the Federal Work-Study program, so your financial aid package could determine your eligibility. You should check with Iona College's Financial Aid Office and their career services for current openings and support in applying.
Outside the campus, there are opportunities in the New Rochelle area and surrounding towns. Retail, restaurants, and tutoring are commonly pursued by students. The career center can also assist with finding jobs in the local community and provide guidance on applying for them.
You might also want to consider internships, which can sometimes be paid. While the main purpose of an internship is often to gain experience in your field of interest, some internships do offer stipends or hourly wages.
Remember, balance is key in managing academics alongside part-time work. It's important not to overcommit such that your job interferes with your studies. Also, don't forget to leverage the resources at your school to help find work opportunities and manage your time effectively.
