Finding a job in Lawrence can be difficult for students. Not only are students competing against each other for a well-paid position, but they are also battling local high school students, Haskell students and other community members seeking jobs in this suffering economy.
Career Center, located in the Burge Union, room 110.
Good news is here for student job-seekers. The University provides several resources for students wanting a job to pay the bills, tuition or maybe just to have extra spending money. All of these resources can be accessed through the University
The UCC is a service that provides students with career counseling and opportunities. It also provides assistance to those wanting help with resumes and job applications. Those interested in a job next fall can stop by the UCC's career fair April 27 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the fourth floor lobby of the Kansas Union.
Ann Hartley, associate director of the UCC, said there can be new job postings found online daily at jobs. ku.edu so job-seeking students can check the listings often.
Quinn Brabender, a junior from Lawrence, has had two on-campus jobs while at the University. First,
he worked for the Student Success Technology Services and now he works at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center as the head technician. Both are jobs he found on jobs.ku.edu.
"The website is really easy to browse through. You can easily find jobs that suit your skill-sets and most of them pay pretty decently." Brabender said.
Kolby Davidson, a sophomore from Dearborn, Mo., currently works off-campus at Brandon Woods, a local retirement home. Before, he worked on-c Campus as an umpire and a game monitor for intramural sports at the recreation center. Davidson also found his on-c campus job on jobs.ku.edu.
"My on-campus job worked with my schedule better, but my current off-campus job is focused more on what I want to be doing after college," Davidson said.
The job hunt doesn't have to be hard or intimidating and students don't have to do it alone. Help is available and a good place to start is online at KUCareerHawk.com, where more than 1,200 jobs have been posted so far this year for students. KUCareerHawk.com is linked to jobsku.edu, which only provides students with on-campus job postings.
"Go online, create an application and apply," said Hartley.
they can't reapply. They should be thorough in their applications, but not wait too long to apply. Jobposters are only required to accept applications for a minimum of three days, Hartley said.
Students should keep in mind that once they apply for a position,
Brabender offered advice to college students searching for jobs.
"Check out the University Career Center. It can give you a lot of free help when you're searching for a campus job and trying to build a resume." Brabender said. "Don't be afraid to apply for multiple postings at once. If you have to turn one down because you were offered two jobs, that's a good problem to have."
