I'm planning to apply to Florida State University and want to learn about finding part-time jobs on campus. Are there specific resources or offices that help students find jobs while studying there? Any tips would be great!
Florida State University (FSU) makes it easy for students to find part-time jobs on-campus, as well as some opportunities in off-campus locations.
Start your search with the FSU Student Employment website. It's a hub that offers valuable information and serves as a starting point to find part-time jobs on and off campus.
Streamlined through an online portal called Handshake, a platform where FSU students and alumni can connect with employers for job and internship opportunities. Make sure to create a profile on Handshake to gain access to hundreds of job listings and apply directly from the platform.
Additionally, FSU offers a variety of work-study programs to eligible students. This is a federal program that provides part-time jobs to help students earn money to pay education expenses. Check with the Financial Aid Office to see if you qualify
Remember, most departments at FSU provide work opportunities for students. These include the library, recreation centers, administrative offices, and more. Don’t hesitate to inquire directly with department representatives about job availabilities.
Lastly, career fairs and networking opportunities on campus provide an avenue to meet potential employers. Keep an eye on the university calendar for these kinds of events. Speaking directly with potential employers can give you an edge in the hiring process.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your part-time job search!
