Job help...?

Hi all,

So I’ve been trying to find an online job because I had a job during my senior year that I just quit around exam time and now I don’t wanna go back there bc they’re offering me limited hours and minimum wage. I was about to get another job, but the 2 I applied to sort of demand more hours that I can’t work bc I’m volunteering or going on family vacations, etc.

Anyways, I was on CollegeVine and I saw that they actually hire undergraduate students (I’m a rising freshman at a top research university) and I sent in my resume and then they notified me that I moved on to the next step. I didn’t realize that this was going to be a rigorous hiring process and that they won’t hire me (I really thought that just bc I was admitted into one of the schools they listed, they’d like me or at least offer an interview) but the next step was editing essays. I love giving college advice, but I had 2 days to edit these essays and it was during my graduation weekend so I didn’t spend more than 1 hour on the assignment (I didn’t do too bad though…) but I didn’t get the job. The email said that they don’t have space right now but I know others who have gotten the job.

So, since I won’t be working at CollegeVine haha, I was wondering if people know about more companies or anything similar where I could apply for a job. It doesn’t have to be online like this one was, but now that I think abt I’d love to get a job where I can help seniors out with college stuff and give advice. I know most require a bachelor’s degree so idk any ideas of types of jobs I could apply to.

I am 18 and my job during senior year was at a tutoring center (with kids that were pretty young haha) and I don’t really want that again.

bump…

Be REALLY careful of the legitimacy of online jobs. Some are scams created to harvest your personal information. Absolutely NEVER give out your social security number without absolute verification that the company and the offer is for real. (just an FYI…unrelated to the OP’s experience)

My kids have had a lot of luck with snagajob. It’s simply a clearinghouse of local places that are hiring.
