Are there any opportunities for part-time jobs at Rutgers during the winter break? I'll have some free time and could use the extra cash. Any tips on where to apply would be awesome!
Certainly, there are quite a few options for part-time work during winter break at Rutgers. Rutgers' student job board is a great resource for students seeking employment. Most of the positions are part-time and tailored to the student's schedule, making them a great fit for a student like you who's looking for a short-term commitment during the break. Keep in mind that these jobs may not be within Rutgers itself, but through partnerships with local businesses and organizations. The job board provides details about job duties, qualifications, pay rates, and application instructions.
In addition, you may want to consider on-campus jobs like assisting in the university library or working in the campus dining facilities, as these locations often have extended hours during winter break to accommodate students who are staying on campus. Be sure to inquire about any opening at these facilities.
Alternatively, you may want to consider temporary retail work. Many stores hire extra staff to accommodate the holiday shopping rush, and the jobs usually continue into early January for end-of-season sales and restocking.
Regardless of where you apply, it's advisable to start searching and applying as early as possible since these positions tend to fill up fast. Good luck in your job search!
