If you live in the dorms or close to campus it is really easy to get to, especially if you don’t have access to a car. The schedule is also a benefit, because the majority of on-campus jobs are closed when school is during holidays and breaks. The professional staff at CMU Student Employment is always ready and willing to help! Pictured (l-r): Corby Blem, Ginny McLeod, Lindsay Ranck, and Jon Goodwin. 1. Go to cmich.edu. 2. In the search bar type in “Finance and Administrative Services” and click the first link that comes up. 3. From there, scroll down and click on “Human Resources.” 4. On the right side of the page click on “Student Employment Services.” 5. This will bring up the career page where you can click on “current vacant positions” and search all the job openings for your “academic year.” When looking at all the options it is important to note that you can only apply for the jobs labeled as work study if financial aid has granted you the ability to do so. It is important to keep in mind that these jobs are not a blow off job just because they are on-campus. If you are fired from an on-campus job, you will not be allowed to work at any other job on-campus after that. <<<<<<<<<<<<< WHERE TO GO WHEN YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED HELP WRITING CENTER The Writing Center is a great resource here on campus.
