Student Employment for Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors

Student Employment Can Help You:

Explore Future Opportunities and Invest in Yourself

• Consider which kinds of jobs and industries interest you most. Which on-campus jobs at St. Olaf would allow you to explore those interests?
• If you are already working on campus, think critically about the transferable skills you are building in your current role. Ask your supervisor how you can build even more skills over time.
• Reflect on how your on-campus employment can help you discern your vocation now and in the future.

Expand Campus Community and Deepen Co-Curricular Involvement

• Think about ways you could connect with new parts of the campus community by working in student employment.
• Consider how you can build professional relationships with your supervisors and peers through your on-campus job.
• Reflect on how you can use your on-campus employment to help faculty, staff, and students create community on campus.

Advance Academic Success

• Consider how an on-campus job that connects to your major or concentration would support your academic development and broaden your learning.
• Think about the skills you are building in your classes that could help you in your on-campus work, and the skills you are building in your on-campus work that could help you in your classes.
