Finding a Job

Enrollment Requirements

In order to qualify for on-campus employment, students must be enrolled at least half time in a degree granting program.

Search and Apply

  • Student positions can be found through the USFWorks for Student Employment application on MyUSF dashboard.
  • Search for positions on the student job board.
  • On the job board you can browse open student positions and apply to the one(s) you are interested in.

  • Most positions will require a resume and cover letter for consideration. Visit the USF Career Services website for resume and cover letter samples and tips.
  • Once you have applied, your application will be reviewed by the hiring manager. Some selected candidates will be asked to interview.
  • If you are selected for a position, you will be extended an offer of employment. See the information for new hires page for more to learn more about the onboarding process.

In addition to jobs offered through USF, students may also apply for part-time jobs outside of the university. The USF Career Services website offers employment information for students interested in exploring non-work-study, off-campus employment.

Additional Information for International Students

F-1 and J-1 visa students who meet the student employment requirements may seek on-campus student employment. However, the J-1 student must first seek permission from ISSS to arrange a student employment position.

Students attending USF while in the United States under a non-student visa (i.e. not F-1 or J-1) may be able to work on campus depending on the specified conditions of the visa. A work authorization card issued by U.S. Citizens and Immigration Services (USCIS) must be presented to Student Employment for work clearance.

Local Address

Students should make sure to update your address to a local address. Having a local address will help speed up your ability to apply to a job on campus.
