A “student job” simply refers to a job you have while in school, whether it’s on-campus, off-campus, part-time, or even a full-time position that doesn’t require a degree. Student jobs can be very competitive, so it’s important to take your job search seriously. In this section, you’ll be able to access information that will help you find and apply competitively for student jobs, as well as search active job postings.
