Whether you’re back on campus or sticking closer to home, you might be looking for ways to boost your resume—and help pay the bills.
Part-time jobs during college offer you the ability to make money and build professional experience while also providing the flexibility to manage your academic course load. This is especially true of part-time jobs on-campus, working for various businesses or institutions within your university’s ecosystem, because you’ll be treated as a student first and foremost! Work-study jobs, a type of federally regulated on-campus job especially for students who need financial support, can also be a great option for those who qualify.

Follow employers you know are relevant
Another way to make sure you don’t miss a specific part-time or on-campus job that you’ve got your eye on is to follow the employer. Following employers means you’ll be notified if they list a role you’re eligible for, or if they’re attending an event that might interest you.
