bruincaf is pretty good, free food, and the managers are really laid back so you can go in whenever you want.</p>

<p>it's just, never work coffee after 10 or sandwiches/coffee on week 10 and finals week.

<p>It's so busy though! Even when it's not latenight .. I was thinking about Puzzles and the empty laidback workload :D</p>

<p>Anyways, is there a minimium amount of hours you have to work, and are schedules flexible?</p>

<p>schedules are incredibly flexible, and you can just say oh i can't come in i have a ****load of work to do, and they'll be like ok thats fine, school >>>>> work. </p>

<p>and the min hrs is like.. i don't know, i've been doing 10hrs a week but i think its supposed to be 12. </p>

<p>they send people from puzzles to bcaf lol </p>

<p>and it's really better when its busy (but not too much) because time goes by faster.</p>

<p>how many people here actually have work-study jobs? the ones specified on the fao website? how did you get them? etc.</p>

<p>taking 19 units stinks :( but man I need a job. after next week I'll get a job if it's the last thing I do!</p>

<p>I have a work-study job, that I got off the FAO website.
I sent out about a dozen generic emails, with my resume attached, stating that I was interested in the position and that if they had any questions to please contact me.
And ended up with 7 replies, 4 interviews and a decent job by the Monday of first week. </p>

<p>But this was all Fall quarter.</p>

<p>Just keep trying and get your resume around. Even if you don't get the position you applied for, your resume might get passed on someone in the same department looking for a work-study student.
Good luck. :)</p>

<p>I have a job now!!</p>

<p>why don't you try that namaste...and tell us how it goes :p</p>

<p>Jinobi, do you have work-study?</p>

<p>Nope, my aid is based completely from grants and scholarships.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I'm not good enough with photoshop and access to do that library job. :(</p>

<p>I saw the other library jobs .. work 10+ hours a week and only pay $7.65!!!</p>

<p>Hmm, I figured since you were Engineering...:grin: (hooray for assumptions!)</p>

<p>Well, you could always give it a shot. The job only stipulates those skills as "Preferred," so you never know. How about a RLCC (read: Computer Lab Proctor) job? 12 hours a week, with 9 of those paid and 3 hours dedicated to setting up Lab Workshops. I think the pay was around $10-12. Contact <a href="mailto:lab@orl.ucla.edu">lab@orl.ucla.edu</a> for more info.</p>

<p>Not work study, but hey... it's K-Mart. Anyone can get a job at K-Mart.</p>

<p>"...the work-study jobs that I am entitled to are not obliging."</p>

<p>You're not entitled to a job, and employers are not there to oblige you. It may be that your attitude of entitlement is turning off potential employers. Dude.</p>

<p>Are there any good jobs available for Spring Quarter besides dining hall, restaurants & library related?</p>
