A work study job during the academic year is a 'real' job for which you will be paid per the approved pay scale. You may apply for more than one job but you can only be hired for one job.
The University Online Application System requires completion of the Student Employment Application plus a Cover Letter and Resume for each position. You are encouraged to contact the department via email or in person to schedule an interview.
Cover Letter and Resume templates are provided as Word documents for you to "Save as" your name, complete the appropriate data and attach when applying for Work Study.
Optimal Resume is an excellent resource provided by Career Services to teach you how to create that winning resume.
