Get Hired! Week of December 8, 2025

Looking for work, your first job, or experience in your field of study?

Get Hired shares new postings and events every week to help you find opportunities that match your goals and schedule.

Tip of the Week: Explore Part-Time and On-Campus Work

 Part-time roles and on-campus jobs are a practical way to build experience while keeping school as your priority. These positions help you develop skills employers expect from early career candidates, including customer service, organization, communication, and leadership. Opportunities such as tutoring, grading, lab support, or working in campus offices can strengthen your resume and boost your confidence. Even a few hours a week can open the door to larger opportunities over time.
