How Can I Earn That Last Thousand Dollars?
Besides applying to scholarships/grants and working in my college's work-study program, I would like to earn a little more cash to add to the endless pot of tuition payments. Do you have any suggestions for earning that extra bit of cash while still busily studying in college? #money-makers #college-tuition #jobs-for-college-students #college-jobs
Should I get a part-time or university job while attending classes?
It has been something that I have been questioning since I started at university. I know that I need a greater amount of experience than I have currently, and in getting a job, I will have more funds. Which is just a touch important. On the other side, a part-time job may not be in the field of my preference, and will definitely cause an issue when it comes to hours needed for study. So, is a part-time job during your time at university, if you do not actively require it, still something that should be considered? Can it just depend on your situation? Thank you! #part-time #university #jobs-for-college-students #work-life-balance
Good weekend-only jobs?
Hi. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of some good jobs that can hire people only for the weekends. I'm a college student who already works 20 hours a week at the library so the weekend is all that I can manage. I've been considering applying to restaurants and the like because it seems like that's where I'd have the best luck. #retail #restaurants #jobs-for-college-students #weekend-jobs
What are some tips for how to pass online job assessments?
Hello there. I'm a student at community college, who also works at the library 20 hours a week. I now need a second job to supplement my income. I have always had trouble with applications that require online assessments. I've applied to Target, Sams, Wal-Mart, and Ross in the past and have failed multiple times. I've read some good tips online already- such as being honest, being consistent, and always strongly disagreeing with "absolute" type of questions (or any questions that would encourage hiding a theft). There was also advice to not always say that you're going to go to a manager for assistance, which is how I'm prone to answering the questions. I just wondered if there were any other tips. I do realize that it's possible that my current rejections have had more to do with my only being available on weekends than anything else. But I'm still hoping you all could help. P.S. None of the jobs that I've snagged in the past have required online assessments. #retail #jobs-for-college-students #weekend-jobs #online-assessments
