<p>Just make sure that you list all any special skills and work experience when you fill out the work preference form. That’ll help Student Financial Services see if you’re a good match for an office assistant job or other skilled position.</p>
<p>Most freshmen seem to list the library or post office as their preferred jobs, but hardly any freshmen get those jobs. So you’re probably better off choosing less high-demand positions as your first choice.</p>
<p>Then can I sign up for a waitlist for another job other than DSA just like waitlist for some courses?</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s a work-study waitlist - just keep your eyes open for other opportunities. Watch the job postings, ask professors and staff if anything is available. Many times positions will become available the next term as students go off campus.</p>
<p>How does it work for students not on any aid? Should d fill out a work pref form? Or does she need to wait til she’s on campus and find stuff?</p>
<p>Yes, as soon as possible. I emailed the financial aid office with the same question, and they said that most of the jobs had already been given away, but to go ahead and fill out the work preference form anyway. I got lucky and didn’t end up in food service, but I’m not sure what they’ll have now (that was two weeks ago). Good luck!</p>
