Jobs on campus

Jobs on campus

Working part time while you study not only gives you a paycheque, it allows you to discover and develop interests, meet others and learn what you like and don't like. You will also build important employability skills such as time management, problem solving, communication and teamwork skills.

There are many different opportunities on campus, from working in a research lab, acting as a campus tour guide or providing customer service in a restaurant. Most openings will require a resume: meet with us to learn how to write a targetted resume for each position.

If you have the choice to apply online or in person, meeting the hiring manager face-to-face with a smile and a firm handshake is always the best option.
