What are Work
Study positions? And where can I apply
for them? |
|
From time to time departments
on campus have a need for extra help. The
Federal Government and UNOH fund a program
where we hire students to work on campus
as long as they meet certain criteria set.
Those criteria include: must be a full time
student, must keep a 2.0 or higher GPA (if
it falls below, they are subject to termination),
and must file a FAFSA with Financial
Aid. Not everyone who applies for Work Study
will be eligible, but those who are need
only to fill out one application for all
positions available. There will not always
be positions readily available, when positions
open up they will be posted on Career Magnet
and on the campus job boards. The departments
who interview and hire look at availability,
class schedules, and attendance when considering
employees. Since these are UNOH positions,
we look for those who are willing to
work. These positions pay minimum wage are
limited to working a maximum of 25 hours
per week. You can pick up an application
in Career Services, located in the 200 Building/Student
Services. |

How can I better
prepare myself for my career path? |
|
There are many ways you
can prepare yourself before graduating and
pursuing your chosen career path. One, you
can stop by one of our many Career Services
Success Seminars which are held at various
times on campus throughout each quarter/session. Two,
you can contact Career Services to schedule
a one-on-one session with one of the Directors
to assist you with your career needs. Three,
you can register yourself on Career Magnet
and upload your resume for easy searching
and employer contact. Just make sure
you stop by Career Services. |
|
What are some
of the reasons employers are not hiring me? |
|
There could be a few reasons why employers
have moved on or have hired someone else. Many
times job seekers who are successful have
turned in a resume and stayed in contact
about the position afterwards.
Here are some things NOT TO DO:
- Application Ditching
If
you drop off an application and hope they
call you, they probably will not. Contact
the employer and tell them you are still
very interested in a position with their
company. Until they say no, keep trying.
- Appearance & Professionalism
Make
sure you are dressed appropriately when
picking up the application, as well as
dropping it back off. DO NOT have
someone else pick it up or drop it back off
for you, AND go by yourself. This shows that
you are not only professional, but are wiling
to go the extra mile to get the job.
- Restrictions
Limiting yourself to not working on weekends
will have employers passing you by too. Make
sure you know what your schedule is for school
and have that available when applying for
positions and interviewing.
- Clarity
Make
sure when you talk to employers you speak
clearly and precisely. Let them
know your intentions of working, when you
will be done with school, if you are going
home for holidays and special occasions. Most
often they understand if you are not from
the area you are susceptible for wanting
to get home now and then.
