Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start
looking for a job?
- If you are beginning college in the fall semester, you may want to start interviewing before classes begin in August. The greatest number of jobs may be available during fall enrollment.
- Summer employment is also a possibility. As most divisions need additional staffing year-round and the largest number of students graduate in May, summer term provides excellent employment opportunities. These jobs should be posted during May and the first part of June.
- Your first step is to visit Hire a Hornet, ESU's online service to match campus jobs with students, or review the postings on the Job Board in the Memorial Union. Check jobs listed to match your skills and interests. Note the job number, location, phone number, and contact person for each position.
- Once you have targeted the jobs in which you are interested, arrange an interview with the prospective employer.
- You should prepare yourself for the job interview in a businesslike manner. Although a résumé is not required, it makes a good impression with the employer. Since some departments may not use a job application, the résumé provides excellent background material about you. Your class schedule should be included in the interview material since this might be taken into consideration for certain positions.
- If you are selected for a job you will need to provide two types of identification, such as a valid driver's license, social security card, or birth certificate to comply with federal regulations. You will also complete an employment agreement and other documentation needed for payroll purposes with your employer. Wages earned during certain interim periods and summer may be subject to withholding for social security.
- You should be aware that it may be necessary to go for several job interviews before being selected for a position. If you have applied and interviewed for at least three positions and have had no success, you may contact the Office of Student Financial Aid, 103 Plumb Hall (620-341-5457; finaid@emporia.edu), regarding Job Development. This program serves the student who is eligible for work-study and is having difficulty finding a job.
- When you accept on-campus employment, you will need to see the Director of International Student Affairs in 235 SE Morse Hall, to obtain an on-campus work permit. This work permit is required for each semester you are employed and should be attached to your student employment agreement when it is submitted to the Office of Human Resources.
- In order to obtain and/or continue employment in a position, you must meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines (policy brochure available in the Office of Student Financial Aid, 103 Plumb Hall, or by calling 620-341-5457 or 800-896-0567).
