Student Job Opportunity

Are you looking for work on campus? Student employees are an important part of enhancing the work place and our goal is to provide learning opportunities in a business setting that complement the academic side of the university experience. Business Services looks for student workers to assist on accounting projects, filing and processing of documents, web tech support, and print and copy services.

The Fall SOU Campus Job Fair provides an opportunity to meet Business Services staff and learn of job openings for both work study and non-work study applicants. Student jobs are set up on a defined schedule but the intent is to be flexible around academic demands. To apply, you may post your resume to Career Connections in your department area of interest and the supervisor will receive notice that you have applied. If you have questions about the position, you may email the hiring contact provided on the Business Services Student Job Description (below).
