<p>i was gonna apply to the WSH one but the only required you to work 4-8 hrs at 7.50, thats like 25-50 dollars a week with the taxes taken out! too little for me =(</p>
<p>idk if you could handle the townie coworkers/customers</p>
<p>Maybe my daughter just lucked out. She is a freshman, she checked out job postings online and applied to some of them before she showed up on campus. She is working at an office on campus 10 hours a week. She is not on work study. I think they are very happy with her and she likes the job a lot that she probably will work there while she at Cornell. Some of her friends also got jobs for the Spring semester before they left for the break and I do not believe any of them are on work study.</p>
<p>Oldfort, do you mean that she looked for a job in August? Where could she look for a job before arriving on campus? Thanks!</p>
<p>"idk if you could handle the townie coworkers/customers" what?</p>
<p>CMB when did you try to apply for that job? I might be interested in it</p>
<p>i didn't. it's one of the ones listed as student administrative assistant</p>
<p>If I'm a hotelie and I have work study, do i have a good chance at working at the statler next fall? thanks =] and do all freshman start looking for jobs before they arrive?!?</p>
<p>JustaMom - yes. I wanted my daughter to have a job to put on her resume even if it was just an adminstrative job. I believe she looked on job listings on Cornell's career site before school started. She got a few notifications for interviews, but she was offered this job right away. None of her freshmen friends had jobs Fall semester because they wanted to get used to their work load first. But many of them have secured jobs at the gym, library,etc for next semester. I didn't get the impression that work study was a big factor. I could be wrong</p>
<p>certain employers are assigned a quota for non work study employees...so it depends on where you apply and the current people who work there</p>
<p>Thanks oldfort. 10 hours or so a week seems perfect! Are most of the jobs like that? I would hope that there are not too many jobs which require too many more hours, especially to start. 10-15 hours a week seems very manageable for freshman. I would love for my daughter to get a job as well, because besides being good for her resume, it would be nice if she could contribute to the spending money she will undoubtedly need!</p>
<p>dishwashing :)</p>
<p>That position is called DMO (Dishwashing Machine Operator). It's like this HUGE machine for dishes and you pile them in constantly. I think mostly townies run it though (at least that's what it was over the summer).</p>
<p>Who are the "townies," local people?</p>
<p>yeah...I take it you probably are one because you asked twice. I was semi-joking...</p>
<p>when i saw the job listing for my current position, it said "FWS preferred" but they still hired me (without it). So I would suggest answering any without clear specifications just in case.</p>
<p>I know people who work at the Cornell Store. If you don't mind retail, it's a good job- plenty of hours, FWS blind. You have to apply withing the first two weeks of a semester though, they usually don't have opening the rest of the time.</p>
<p>It's so easy to get a job on campus! <em>All</em> the dining halls always need more students. I worked at Trillum last year and Becker this year, and they're <em>always</em> looking for new workers... just walk in and ask, they'll be ecstatic, seriously.</p>
<p>The only thing is that I absolutely hated working in the dining hall. I couldn't handle working with the "townies," even though I probably should've just stuck it through. But they probably only look for people to work the cash registers at Trillium, am I right?</p>
<p>And wow, a lot of job openings have come up in the past two days : )</p>
<p>i seriously hate working in dining hall too.. its the boringest and least busy job ive ever taken</p>
