Job Searching
Full-Time Job Search
There are multiple ways that employers use to find candidates for their
positions. Your job is to formulate a plan of action that utilizes all strategies
to locate a full time job quicker.
Part-Time Job Search
Developing a plan to locate and land that part-time job is very similar to job searching for your full-time job, internship, or even a volunteer experience. Provided below is a step-by-step process as well as some general information pertinent to your needs.
Steps to follow:
- What are your plans for college?
You entered the college experience to gain additional skills and knowledge to advance yourself in the working world. A reason for a part-time job should be more than just earning extra money, but rather be an extension of your classroom learning. If you have not decided on a major or at least narrowed down your choices, please schedule an appointment with a Career Consultant.

- Pick up the newspaper ads in your area.
This may seem like an old way to search for jobs, but it still has its uses.
- Talk to people that you know…Networking is the key!
Talking to people is the best method for locating a part time job. The more people you know, the better your network circle becomes. Often times, these people will have knowledge of a advertisement they saw or someone to refer you to.
- Yellow-pages
This is useful to help generate a list of possible sites to visit or contact via phone. This is most useful for those careers that may be more hidden and that require more proactive approach on your part.
