<p>Hey again, my Summer's been really unproductive without a job so far after graduating from High School. I have yet to even make a penny this Summer and I'm still destined to keep looking for a job until I get one. I have applied to many shops and stores around my neighborhood and I haven't received a single call from any of the employers for weeks. It's been deterrent ever since the wait had started.</p>
<p>I want to know how easy is it to secure a job on the college campus compared to getting one around stores and companies (off the campus). Is it any easier? My friends think it's simple because it's easier to get adapted to the school. So what are your thoughts? </p>
<p>Should I submit my application right away when I start college and not having to wait longer than that minute?</p>
<p>Yes, worry about the schedule later. Since it’s a college job, they’re usually (almost always) more likely to be flexible with schedules and you won’t be expected to work as often during midterms or finals (at least at my college–I don’t know if it’s true elsewhere.)</p>
<p>Also, since they you’re a student, they’re usually more lax with whether you have prior experience.</p>
<p>But if I indicate the times I’m able to work right now on the application, it might not be the time when I could work once I find out my real program card. Right now, I might accidentally insert one of my class times into work period. I don’t want it to happen.</p>
<p>Problem is, they probably aren’t too sure of my classes right now whether they’re set or need to be adjusted. So I’m naturally forced to wait for the moment.</p>
<p>If it interests you AT ALL, check out student leadership on your campus. These are often the best jobs on campus.</p>
<p>For example…this summer I was an Orientation Leader with my school. I lived in a dorm for free, and was fed almost every day three times a day for a month. I’ll get paid over $700 for the month.</p>
<p>This fall, I’m going to be an RA (we call them CSAs). Free housing (equals about $8,000 per year, maybe a little more), they give us free “Dining Dollars” that we can use at any dining venue on campus, and we get a monthly stipend.</p>
<p>Like I said…one of the best jobs on campus. And you get to meet awesome people. And it looks awesome on a resume. =)</p>
<p>Getting involved is not the case here. I’m trying to collect advices that can get me employed for a job with payings for the first semester of my college. Now, the hassle is having to wait until I get my classes so I can manage out my time with it. :)</p>
I am also entering college this fall. As for jobs on campus well my school offers a website where you can look up jobs not only on campus but also the area. Weeks ago I found this job that I like and finally did the application. I actually heard back from them, requested to answer other questions along with a resume etc… So far I have gotten really lucky and now I was notified for for an interview (in person or phone). So yes I think if you notice a job that your interested in try to complete an application because chances are they might be interested in employing you.</p>
<p>I applied to my job at dining service a MONTH before classes began. I got the job and was scheduling right the interview. Now, I have gotten a job as an Office Assistant, making more than minimum wage.</p>

My sibling told me dinning service tend to be one of the most popular/ fun jobs by students in that you meet a lot of people. I personally have not shown any interest in dinning service because of my certain peference towards a job that is related to my studies and interest. If Seachai86442 prefers to secure any job than applying for dinning service could be a boost. Eventhough I have already applied to a desired job I am nervous about the high possibilites of being rejected.</p>
<p>Those jobs sound magnificent if I can procure them. The only issue is how would I be able to deal with early job scheduling when I haven’t gotten my classes yet because what if my work time accidentally mixes in with my one or two of my classes?</p>
<p>Apply as soon as possible, and to all the positions open to freshmen (there may not be many.) Jobs like food service, desk clerk, etc., have all kinds of shifts open.</p>
<p>Okay, I just finished applying for the athletic facilities on my college campus for the Summer and Winter season. They only gave me two opportunities to select.</p>
See if there are jobs that offer many hours on a Sunday. Like myself it so happens my preferred job offer hours on a Sunday making my weekday schedule more flexible to complete other hours.
Well at my school you are only allowed to select the one you intend to begin working if hired. No fall or spring? That’s strange, seems like that job may be mainly during summer and end football season.</p>
It depends on the job your applying to. From my own search I have not seen a job that is first come first serve but the more popular jobs like working in the cafeteria might tend to hire those that apply early.</p>
