How to Apply

Attend the On-Campus Job Fair

The CCD hosts an On-Campus Job Fair at the beginning of every Fall semester, as it is the peak season for on-campus job hiring. The On-Campus Job Fair is usually scheduled in the first week of the new semester. Attending the On-Campus Job Fair will give you the chance to meet with staff from departments that are hiring student workers. This is a great opportunity to make a good impression and learn about the role. Many departments conduct the first round of interviews at the fair.

Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, an On-Campus Job Tabling will be hosted instead of a fair. During the tabling, students are able to go to each department's office to meet and talk with on-campus employers in person. 

The time for 2022 On-Campus Job Tabling is 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, September 15, 2022.

Please watch the On-Campus Job Tabling Orientation Video before attending the event.

Apply On-Campus Jobs on Handshake

Most departments hire new student workers at the beginning of fall semester, since the time commitment for each position is usually one academic year. But some departments release positions on Handshake during the semester as well. Follow the Handshake Student User Guide to review the job descriptions thoroughly and apply online.
