At any given time, the 91��ɫ has 3,000 student employees on campus. From athletics and outdoor recreation to student housing and community health, there’s an on-campus job for every student’s interest.��

On average, student jobs are 10 hours a week, with the general recommendation that students don’t work more than 20 hours a week.

How to get started

Head to to look for open jobs. While most jobs are posted in September and January, opportunities appear year-round.��

“Every single day people are posting new jobs,” says Elise Goss-Alexander, director of . “Every office or facility on campus hires students at one point or another.”

Once on the website, navigate to the “student employment” section. There, you’ll be able to filter job listings by specific criteria such as positions for undergraduate students, work study award jobs, or other employment opportunities.

What should I expect?

After identifying a job that interests you, upload a resume to your application. All on-campus jobs require a resume, and some supervisors will ask for a cover letter.��

“I would say the biggest challenge is students need to be flexible with their applications. If you apply for only one thing, it may or may not work out,” Goss-Alexander says. “Students should tailor each application. Don’t send the same application to 20 jobs. Make sure the application you’re sending in matches the job you’re looking for.”

When you submit your resume, it's reviewed by a career advisor in the before you apply directly to the position. They will look it over to ensure it’s in the proper format, meets requirements, etc. If your skills and experience match the position, you may then be contacted for an interview.

What are the benefits to getting a job on campus?

One of the biggest advantages of working on campus is that your supervisors understand that you’re a student first. They know your class schedule is a priority and will work with you to create hours that fit around your courses, exams, and study time.

For Lindsay Baker (BA ’25), being a part of the campus community and having flexibility was important.��

“I loved student employment. It was way more flexible with my classes and whatever else I was doing on campus. I had so many opportunities to contribute to 91��ɫ in a meaningful way and give back. It was so impactful,” Baker says.

Beyond flexibility and community, 91��ɫ offers professional development opportunities to all student employees, helping them build skills that prepare them for careers after graduation. In addition, Student Employment partners with Credly, an online certification program, to offer the Student Employees Achieve (SEA) Badge. Offered in the fall and winter quarters, the SEA Badge provides students with training focused on key career competencies. This program helps students reflect on their work, giving them meaningful ways to talk about their skills.��

“We equip our students with training that will be meaningful to professional development. We know that having an experiential education has a really big impact on people’s career readiness after graduation. This is a space that’s open to everybody,” Goss-Alexander says.
