subject: College Jobs Are Getting Harder To Find [print this page] Many students are going off to college for the first time and there is a lot of excitement ahead for them. It will be a lot of new experiences including the fact that many are going to have, for the very first time, bills that need to be paid. This means they are going to have to find a job and one that will meet their hectic school schedule.
Throughout the year, a student will take classes at different times of the day. It will be very difficult for them to work a set schedule and so their first priority is to find a job that will allow them to adjust their hours when needed.
If you live off campus in a regular neighborhood you might be able to make some extra money by doing things for your neighbors. Students make extra money walking dogs, mowing lawns, painting houses and other chores that are time flexible.
Part-time work can be suitable if you are disciplined enough to be able to stick to a schedule. There are several retail and food service positions that are always looking to hire workers on a part-time basis. Many colleges will offer work-study positions that are specifically designed for students and your financial advisor will usually have information on this type of employment. The pay may not be the best but they are often very understanding when it comes to changing your schedule.
The Internet is a new phenomenon that has given everybody, including students, a chance to make money online. This is definitely easier said than done but if you have the technical knowledge of how to construct websites and get traffic to them, you can make money via affiliate marketing or other ways. This is something that is great for a student because they can do it whenever they have the free time.
The best way to find good jobs for college students is to first address that student's needs and to then just start pounding the pavement for work that fits that bill. It may take a while to find the right job but you have to keep trying until you do.
