Best Part Time Jobs for College Students

By Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

Head over to your academic department (e.g., if you're an English major, check the English department) and ask about jobs. There's a lot that departments have to do behind the scenes, and they sometimes hire students for part time office work.

While you aren't limited to your own major, departments generally give priority to students within the field. Plus, if you work within your own department, it's a good chance to make connections and network with professors. It's also an excellent way to become familiar with in's and out's of your department.

How to Land the Job: Check with your academic department or student employment office for assistant job openings.
