Does a Part-Time Job Help or Hurt Your Application?

Do part time retail jobs on your college application help you chances of being accepted, hurt them, or not really make a difference?

If it makes any difference, I have been out of High School for more than a year, during that time I have been working on personal projects regarding game creation and animation.

Thanks in advance.

Having a job is a good thing.

It counts as an extra curricular activity

It’s a very good thing.
The underlying message of any job is that you are responsible, can take direction, can get along with others and have at least some fiscal awareness.

Having a part-time job is definitely a positive. Shows time commitment, balancing life, responsibility, advocating for yourself, etc. You can also put it down as an EC. Just make sure it doesn’t distract you from your studies :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone!
It’s good to know that it is not looked at negatively.
