-
Decide how much time you want to work. Keep in mind not only your class
schedule, but also time for studying, extracurricular activities, sleeping,
and spending time with your friends.
-
Think about what you enjoy doing. If you can find a job that has something
to do with what you're interested in your time will be better spent and the
experience will be more valuable. On the contrary, if you hate what you're
doing you will be miserable.
When you have some parameters for the type of job you want, you can begin
searching. There are many resources to help you find a job that suits you.
Resources:
-
Office of Career Counseling There should be an office or department
at your school that assists with career counseling. Often they have resources
for on-campus and off-campus work, part-time positions and full-time
positions. Larger universities often have databases where employers post jobs.
Many jobs are geared toward college students. The pool of applicants is lower
than larger job databases, therefore your chances of landing a job are better.
