WILL YOUR GREYHOUND WORK?

Each year of your Greyhound's time in college, there are steps they will take to set themselves up for success after graduation; making the transition from college student to working professional begins the fi rst day they step on campus. Working on campus is a great way for your Greyhound to meet people (networking) and have a job that is conveniently located and provides a flexible schedule (yes, we work around their classes). Not only do they gain valuable work experience, but they have the freedom to explore career options while building a strong resume.

What kind of jobs are available for our Greyhounds?

ENMU hires more than 600 Greyhounds per year for on-campus jobs including offi ce assistants, student activities coordinators, computer assistants, lifeguards, tutors, and peer mentors (just to name a few!). Many of these positions require no specialized training or previous work experience.

How do Greyhounds fi nd positions?

Our student employment listing (enmu.edu/StudentJobs), maintained by the Offi ce of Counseling and Career Services, contains on-campus jobs for part-time student employment and professional positions for graduating Greyhounds who are looking for a full-time job. If your Greyhound has a specifi c interest, we suggest they visit with that department to see if they have any jobs available.

How does my Greyhound apply for a position?

A completed Student Employment Application and resume are required for all on-campus jobs. No resume? No problem! Our Career Services folks are pros! They will help your Greyhound create a quality resume. Once everything is completed, your

Greyhound will turn in their application materials to the department, giving them a chance to make a great fi rst impression.

Will my Greyhound's work be career-related?

While not every on-campus job will be related directly to your Greyhound's future career, most employers are more interested in the skills your Greyhound learned, not necessarily their title. Working on campus while attending school helps Greyhounds with time management and professionalism and provides a preview into the working world.

A few benefi ts of student employment at ENMU:

We work with your Greyhound. ENMU understands how demanding college can be. Our offi ces will work with your Greyhound's schedule; we know the rigors of a college schedule, especially during major projects, exams, and fi nals week, and give time for summer breaks and holidays.

We care about your Greyhound. ENMU knows that your Greyhound is going through a transition while attending college. Working in an ENMU offi ce or department means your Greyhound will have professionals who have their best interest in mind, and will regularly help guide them to make good choices.

We're a great reference for your Greyhound. The same ENMU folks who work with your Greyhound can also be a great personal or professional reference for future employment. These references are valuable when your Greyhound is starting out in the working world.
