Sophomores Sam Martin and Chris Teeuwen found jobs at the Les Bolstad Golf Course in St. Paul, Minn., through the employment center last year. Newspaper classified advertisements, which often seek previous experience, left Teeuwen discouraged. He said the requirement of owning a car was also detrimental. Martin said he wanted an outdoor campus job and heard the employment center was the best place to start. On-campus jobs must be filed with the job center so the office can confirm students' eligibility.
Any student registered for six or more credits can use the center's services.
Because the University functions year-round, many jobs are offered during the summer. London said many students working now go home for the summer, leaving several positions available. Students desiring summer employment can use the service without taking summer classes if they were enrolled during spring quarter. On their first center visit, students fill out a general application. Once the form is processed, students can refer to several bulletin boards.
