Benefits of Working on Campus

Discover the many benefits to working during your education. If you choose to take an on-campus job, you may find that there are even greater benefits than working off campus.

Extra Money

Having a part-time job will help you earn money. Like many college students, you may find money is often tight for you. Even if you have enough money to pay for all of your expenses, having extra money for clothes, outings and food is always helpful.

Resume Building

When you are applying for your first after-graduation job or applying for an internship, it will be helpful for you to have some work experience to include on your resume. Having work experience demonstrates that you are able to maintain a work schedule, follow orders and work as a member of a team.

Time Management Skills

Completing your school work around a part-time job can help you improve your time management skills because you will be forced to set a schedule to complete assignments. This will help you develop constructive time management habits.

Flexibility

On campus employers know that your priority is your education and they want you to succeed academically. They often allow you to study during slow times and are more likely to understand if you need time off to study for an important examination or to work on a project.

Time Off

Unlike off-campus employers, on-campus jobs typically do not schedule their student employees during campus breaks. Students who do work during breaks typically do so only upon mutual agreement with the employer.

Make Friends

Many on-campus employers hire more than one student employee. Therefore, you will likely be working with other students. Working together is a great way to get to know one another and start new friendships.

Engage With Your College

Working for your college will help you become even more involved and your attachment to your college grow in strength. This can make your college experience even more emotionally rewarding.
