Finding Your Work/School Balance 

Want to gain work experience while in school? Here are some ways you can find part-time work and internships as well as balance work with school:

  • Job board websites frequently do not have the most up-to-date information. Use the company website and apply directly there.
  • Restaurant and retail work typically offers flexible hours.
  • Consider looking for an internship. Many government internships are available in many different fields.
  • If looking for internships or part-time jobs, take advantage of Handshake.
  • Do not give away time you do not have. Stay on top of your schoolwork. Remember you are a student first.
  • Create to-do lists to stay organized. Outlook has this feature along with a calendar feature.
  • Make sure that your employer knows that your schedule may change semester to semester.
  • Career Services, here on the Uptown Campus in the Science Library, is a fantastic resource for all students, first year to senior year. They can help you prepare your application materials, practice for your interview, identify jobs you may be interested in and more. Stop by no matter what class year you are.
