<p>How difficult is it to manage a work-study/on-campus job during freshman year?</p>
<p>If work study is part of your FA package you can start looking now for work study postitions and apply for positions if you have your cover letter and resume ready (this way you can hopefully beat some of the rush of freshmen applying for jobs).</p>
<p>go to student employment</p>
<p>Welcome</a> to the Student Employment Office</p>
<p>jobnet</p>
<p>Click jobnet again (underlined in side of the text)</p>
<p>Student</a> Employment Office JobNet Query Form</p>
<p>fillout the query (fall, immediate opening, last updated)
click search jobnet to see what jobs are available</p>

<p>goodluck!!</p>
<p>Sybbie,</p>
<p>There don't seem to be many job opportunities at the moment - will there be more as the school year approaches? Also, are there limitations on which jobs freshmen can take (i.e. research assistant positions)?</p>
<p>there are always more jobs than students, so don't worry about finding one. Freshmen can take research positions depending on the professor, the department, and what that actually entails, as well as your personal interests and abilities.</p>
<p>DDS is always hiring as is GreenCorps. Pretty much every academic department needs assistance in one way or another, and nobody's really too strapped for cash to pay you.</p>
<p>If you really want a job on campus, it won't be hard for you to find one. (I know, I work 2-4 at a time, all terms)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. That's really helpful. I was also wondering how many hours a week you recommend, especially for the first year?</p>
<p>Also, it was my experience that the best jobs weren't posted on JobNet. Asking around when you find something that interests you is much more effective.</p>
