Have you ever wondered what it\u2019s like to be a student worker at Chapman University?

Benefits of Working On Campus<\/b><\/h2>\n

Flexibility<\/h3>\n

Unlike traditional part-time jobs, on-campus positions are designed with student schedules in mind. If you are like many students who spend their summers in a different place than you spend your school year, then you\u2019re in luck; campus employment offers a wide range of positions during the school year only. <\/span><\/p>\n

Campus employers also know that life as a full-time student can get hectic with finals week, midterms, and essays, to name a few. Most positions offer flexibility to help students prioritize their school work, especially when nearing finals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Y<\/span>ou are often given the opportunity to trade shifts with coworkers to give yourself the necessary time to get schoolwork done and participate in campus activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

No Need to Commute to Work<\/h3>\n

No car? No problem! Working on campus comes with the obvious benefit of working, well, <\/span>on campus<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is no need to commute to work, freeing up more time in your day. California freeways are the worst, so it is best to just avoid them altogether. If you wanted, you could get from class to work in 5 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Build Connections with Other Students and Full-Time Staff<\/h3>\n

Many students prefer to work on campus because of the relationships that they are able to build with fellow students as well as faculty and staff. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is always nice to have more friendly faces on campus, and working with fellow panthers is a great way to meet new people. <\/span><\/p>\n

Being a student is the perfect time to start building your network and working on campus allows you to do just that. Working with students is also nice because every one of them understands the basic struggles of being a working college student. <\/span><\/p>\n

You never know, maybe you\u2019ll have a class with one of them! <\/span><\/p>\n

Positions for all Majors and Levels of Experience<\/h3>\n

Every single college from Argyros to Wilkinson has student workers, so there are positions available no matter what your major is and level of experience. <\/span><\/p>\n
