Steps to Finding a Campus Job

  2. For currently listed work study job openings, visit the Career Planning and Development web page.
  3. After selecting those departments of interest to you, contact those supervisors using the requested method of correspondence (phone, email, send resume, etc.)
  4. If you are offered the position, the supervisor will send a REQUEST TO HIRE form to the work study office in Student Financial Services, located in Bibb Graves Hall, room 222. You must complete certain payroll forms and present certain identification documents before you can begin working. YOU MUST HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD ISSUED BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO WORK.
