If you don’t see the job you want online, there are other ways to find a job on campus:
- Turn in your resume to the different departments on campus in case any positions are about to open up soon.
- If you want to work for a department you have no formal experience in, provide a letter of recommendation from a professor that works in that department and attach it to your resume to prove that you are capable of performing the tasks within the department you are applying.
- Simply talk to those who work in the department you would like to work in. Though no formal position may open, you might be invited to shadow other workers for a brief period of time, and eventually get promoted.
The Career Center, located in the “L” building on Pasadena City Colleges campus focuses on career information and job prospects for interested students.
Remember to have your resume formatted so that the person hiring you can see your accomplishments. Most resumes are scanned over for about 25 seconds.
- Highlight your accomplishments to make your resume stand out among the others.
- Focus on what you did on the job not just a general job description.
If the department contacts you for an interview, congratulations, but this is not the end. The interview is where you can show a future employer who you are and why they should hire you. So dress to impress, you shouldn’t show up to an interview in clothes that are dirty or wrinkled. Look your interviewer in the eye and ask questions about the job, it shows interest.
For extra preparation into applying for a job, the Career Center located in L-103 also offer workshops to help students prepare their resume and interview practice.
