About the Student Job and Intern Service

This service is offered exclusively for the use of graduate and undergraduate students
at Cornell University and is maintained by the Office of Financial Aid and Student
Employment. To access the job listings, you must have a valid Cornell NetID. Any Cornell
student, staff, or faculty member with an active CU NetID should be able to access the
job listings.

General Information about the Job Posting Service

Student jobs at Cornell University and jobs that are part of the Community Work Study Program are listed
using this service. The job listings are updated regularly.

Jobs requiring FWS eligibility are indicated with a "Yes". Federal Work-Study is a
financial aid program. You can check your financial aid status and FWS eligibility
on the Student Center.

Pay information is displayed next to the job title and within the job description. Most
jobs on this service offer some type of hourly wage or compensation. However, some
internships maybe unpaid.

For assistance with identifying volunteer positions in the local area, please contact the
David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement. Community service jobs
with local agencies are listed on this Student Job and Internship service. Most local
agencies do require you to have subsidy eligibility either through the Federal Work-Study
program, or the Cornell Commitment or Office of Academic Diversity Initiatives (OADI) programs.

Jobs in locations outside of Cornell University and Tompkins County are listed on
Handshake on the Cornell Career Services web page.

Job Search Tips and Guidelines

To search for and view available jobs, click on Job Search in the header menu bar
above.

You can search for jobs using the following categories:

• Employment TERM(Academic Year, Summer, or Winter)
• Geographic REGION
• CAREER fields
• Or by narrowing your search using specific criteria

If your search is successful, a list of job titles will display. Click on VIEW for each job to
see details including job description, requirements, and application information.
If your search is unsuccessful (no jobs are displayed) try again using different search
criteria.

Jobs are typically active for 1-2 weeks, or until the employer fills the job and deactivates
the posting. Not all available jobs are advertised on this service. You should use
multiple resources during an active job search. In addition to the electronic listings, look
for jobs advertised on bulletin boards and in the local newspapers, and use your
network of contacts. Be proactive — speak with faculty and staff directly. Identify
departments of interest and appropriate contacts by using the campus directory.

Be ready with an introductory cover letter which you can send electronically. Also have
an updated resume available. Employers need to know about your specific skills,
experience, related coursework, your interests, and your availability.
Have valid and good references available in case the employer requires that
information. Names, titles, phone numbers, addresses, and department/organization
are important. Be sure each reference is willing to provide a good referral for you.

The Cornell Career Services office and your college career office provide additional job
search resources, and assistance with writing cover letters and resumes, and preparing
for interviews.

Use Caution

It is your responsibility to research the job thoroughly. Before you accept a job offer, be
sure to confirm and clearly understand:
