How to Find a Job

As an incoming student with a work award you have two options on how to find a job:

  1. Find Your Own Job
    This option allows you to complete a traditional job search. You can view job postings online and apply for jobs that interest you.
    Remember to complete a Notification of Hiring (NOH) form after securing a job. 
  2. Be Placed in a Position
    If you choose this option the CSB/SJU Student Employment Office will place you in a department.  There are a limited number of positions available, and these positions will be filled on a first come first serve basis.    

To Find Your Own Job
