FAQ: How Do I Find A Job On/Off Campus?

The most frequently asked question during the first few weeks of school is: How do I find a job on campus? Students are often lost as to where to look for jobs .. but this is where Career Services steps in to save the day.

One of the best decisions I made at Nazareth College was applying for a position at the office of Career Services. I was able to start working on campus as soon as my freshman year started. Through this experience I have been able to learn how to find a job on/off campus and how the job search process has changed over the years. Here are a few things you should know:
  • NazLink is one of the most important accounts you will make while at Nazareth. Ever. NazLink provides students with an easy, and efficient, way to look for jobs both on and off campus. Simply visit our Career Services website and either log-in or make a Nazlink account. After you complete that step you may search for jobs on and off campus, various opportunity types and even different job categories! How cool is that?
  • If you have trouble looking for a job on NazLink you can always set up an appointment with one of the career counselors for a "Job Search". They will help facilitate this search in the best way they can. [ Not only do they help with job searches, but they will also help you in any other way they can! ]
  • Last -- but certainly not least -- LinkedIn is a great resource for networking. It is easy to use as Facebook and provides students with lots of opportunities to show off your best skills. This website combines the best features of all social media sites and provides you with just as many opportunities. Like I said.. its as easy to use as Facebook!

If you have any more questions about job opportunities off and on campus feel free to call our office, or stop by during drop-in hours!
