Fall job and career opportunities for ISU students

ISU students not only make important connections with hiring agents at our Part-Time Job Fairs and Info Sessions, but can come away with opportunities for interviews. The Part-Time Job Fair will be held August 31, and the FBI Info Session is September 1. Coming September 23, Capitol Police Info Session. Check out these and other job and career opportunities on our Career Center webpage. 

Working on campus helps students build important success skills, abilities, and confidence in a setting where their education is considered the top priority. In a recent survey, 97% of ISU students that worked on campus agreed that they would recommend the experience to other students, and 73% reported that their jobs not only complemented their program of study, but also helped them stay enrolled at ISU. 

What are the benefits of working on campus? 

• Flexibility - because campus employers prioritize education, campus jobs typically work around class schedules.
• Convenience - students can work between classes, and their jobs are only a short walk away.
• Real-world experience - campus jobs build confidence and skills necessary for success on and off campus.
• Money - campus jobs provide money for college expenses while still supporting students’ educational needs. 
• Time Management - campus jobs help students learn to balance academic and work obligations.
• Networking - campus jobs help students form connections with members of university departments who may also become professional resources for future contacts and recommendations.

Now is a great time for students to start looking for on-campus jobs. The ISU Career Center encourages students to search for jobs through Handshake, ISU’s online job posting website.

Students should also consider attending the August 31, 2021 part-time job and career fair, held in the Pond Student Union Ballroom, where they can make important connections to hiring managers and sometimes even walk away with a job.
