On Campus Jobs

[jb48]

I am looking to get a job on campus. I wanted to know if on campus jobs are accommodating to your schedule. Also how would I go about searching for a job? Are there any prerequisites?

Hi,

There are two different types of jobs on campus, ones for WORK STUDY and the other are regular jobs. WORK STUDY jobs tend to be light jobs where you can study while at work. They usually pay a little bit more because the funding comes from New York State.

The normal jobs pay around 7-9 a hour. You can search jobs in SOLAR under job opportunities, the campus lists all job openings via SOLAR. You can go contact each employer to discuss work hours. They are usually very flexible with you. If you are interested in jobs off campus, you can visit the Career Center at the library, they have a huge network of employees seeking to hire Stony Brook students to work off campus.

Hope this helps

also there is an important side note for jobs that are work study, there is a limit to the amount of money that you could earn. if this is the first time that your applying to be work study then there should be about 1,500 dollars to earn for that year off of work study. if you apply again that number would increase to 2000, only if you have worked off a majority of the 1,500 you had before. also keep in mind that is it not that you can only do work study or normal. you can work in both at the same time.
