Jobs Late summer, just before school begins, is the best time to look for a job because most employers who have part-time positions want to get them filled before the academic year begins. Millennium SE allows registered students to conduct a complete job search online. Also, job announcements are posted on the bulletin board inside the Student Employment Office as soon as they are received and removed when they are filled. The part-time and temporary job market in Chico is competitive, so most jobs do not remain available for very long. It is important to check the board daily and follow up on all job leads without delay.
Most employers look for dependable people who are fast learners and eager workers.
References from previous employers are handy tools for a job search. There are other ways of finding employment in Chico. Visiting offices and businesses to speak with employers about potential openings is effective. Talking with friends, instructors, and acquaintances about employment is another way to get useful information. It is important not to get discouraged, because enough employment is available for those who persist.
