<p>I'm a incoming freshman and wondering what I can do to ensure I get an on campus job</p>
<p>Greetings daymo.</p>
<p>One way is to keep an eye on the FAU Jobs site at <a href=“https://jobs.fau.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=1310022371122[/url]”>https://jobs.fau.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=1310022371122</a>. Set position type to “Student.”</p>
<p>You can also ask around once you’re on campus. I would start over in the Student Union. Student Government always seems to need people. </p>
<p>Program Board, which coordinates campus events, has a posting on the website above for 8.25/hour, 20 hours a week (mostly nights and weekends). That’s a great job if you can get it. </p>
<p>If you have even a small inkling of writing ability, the University Press can net you a small amount of cash here and there (as a side job, not a primary money-maker).</p>
<p>Program Board and University Press are both on the second floor of the Student Union.</p>
<p>They tend to hire a lot of people at the bookstore for the Fall rush and then lay them off 2-3 weeks later. So I wouldn’t bother there. I’d also stay away from the food services side of things, except maybe at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts (in the library). I just don’t see many students doing those jobs, perhaps partly because of the hours.</p>
<p>Also, keep your eyes open for flyers and whatnot posted in the Breezeway. Sometimes you find an on-campus research job – and those are good gigs – or you find out about a decent off-campus job. </p>
<p>I would definitely avoid ANYTHING vague without a specific job description. Just avoid it like the plague, especially if it merely says, “Student Work” with a phone number. Those are usually commission jobs like telemarketing with “base appointments” or selling a set of knives door-to-door, and they never work out well. The companies also tend to be extremely shady.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
