<p>For the people who've already had experiences at UCLA, how are the job opportunities at/nearby UCLA? Did a lot of the students have some sort of part-time job or internship, whether it was at a fast food chain or whether it was more research based? </p>
<p>Do many students complain about not getting a job? </p>
<p>How hard is it to get a job?</p>
<p>This is too broad of a question. There are 25k undergrads at UCLA. They’re all different majors, all have different personalities, so they’re all going to have different experiences.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, and this is true for non-UCLA students too, the higher your GPA and the more outgoing you are, the more likely you will have a good job.</p>
<p>The lower your GPA, and the more passive you are, the more likely you will be unemployed or working a dinky dead end job.</p>
<p>In terms of majors, most of my engineering friends have jobs. Most of my Business Economics friends have jobs. Most of my liberal arts and science majors (that didn’t go to grad school) friends do not have jobs.</p>
<p>I Believe the poster meant having a job while still in school…not after graduation.</p>
<p>If you really want a job and are interested in sports/recreation, you can probably get one through the Wooden center. Intramurals always does a mass hire towards the beginning of the quarter; each year they hire about 30 new officials and Game Managers.</p>
<p>I worded my post a bit differently than what I had in mind, I meant to ask about the jobs based on your experience, rather than about the whole school. I don’t want a broad picture, rather a smaller picture in mind - that of you, and not of the entire school. I just want ideas, really. </p>
<p>dinoian: Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind.</p>
<p>Also, if you know a bit about computers, you could probably get a job in any of the computer labs on campus. Plenty of places are hiring, you just might have to do something other than your first choice. AFAIK, ASUCLA is always hiring for at least a position or 2.</p>
<p>Libraries have lots of jobs. Some departments have graders.</p>
<p>yep yep, there are a variety of on campus jobs. If you’re a work study student, then you can view all available on-campus work study jobs here: <a href=“https://www.fao.ucla.edu/wrkstd_student/[/url]”>https://www.fao.ucla.edu/wrkstd_student/</a> (and simply just login with your ucla credentials).
Here are some other on-campus organizations that usually hire students:
UCLA Transportation - [Student</a> Employment Opportunities (1001794)](<a href=“http://ucla.in/NdJyFe]Student”>http://ucla.in/NdJyFe)
UCLA Office of Residential Life - <a href=“https://www.orl.ucla.edu/getinvolved/[/url]”>https://www.orl.ucla.edu/getinvolved/</a>
ASUCLA - [ASUCLA</a> Human Resources](<a href=“http://www.collegestore.org/jobs-student/asucla-jobs.asp]ASUCLA”>http://www.collegestore.org/jobs-student/asucla-jobs.asp)
UCLA Library System - [Student</a> Positions | UCLA Library](<a href=“http://www.library.ucla.edu/about/student-positions]Student”>Student Opportunities | UCLA Library)
And there are lots more! You just need to search for them!</p>
<p>If you’re looking for internships or off-campus jobs, then try Bruin View (it’s a Job Bulletin Board from the UCLA Career Center). Most companies use that as a mean of communicating with interested students. <a href=“https://secure.career.ucla.edu/BruinViewLogin/Login.aspx[/url]”>https://secure.career.ucla.edu/BruinViewLogin/Login.aspx</a></p>
<p>I found about four work study job opportunities that I’d like to apply for.</p>
<p>My question is: is it recommended that I send my resume/apply to all of these positions, and later have the option of choosing one among the ones that I get accepted for? Or should I only apply to one at a time?</p>
<p>First, are their deadlines for the positions? Are they close to each other? Are you busy? (So that if you get job interviews for all four of the jobs, do you have the time for all of them?) More importantly, do you have the time to prep or get ready for all of the interviews if they’re pretty close to each other?
There are the good and the bad for both approaches. By applying one job at a time, you have more time to prep and focus on it. It’s like taking a test (you don’t want to take 4 midterms all within hours of each other, do you? same with job interviews).
From my personal experience, I always applied to various and multiple jobs/internships that I’m interested in (on an industry level) within days of each other. Some of them I don’t hear back, others might have interviews within hours of each other, but I managed to get through them just fine. It just takes good time management skills. If you get multiple offers, you can simply ask them to give you a few days to think about it. If a company really like you after an interview, and you have other interviews/offers during the time, they sometimes even raise up your starting salary/other bonuses.</p>
