Student Worker Application Process

Step 1: Activate Handshake & apply for positions

All current on-campus openings can be found and applied to in Handshake, JCC’s employment and career readiness platform. To apply to open positions, you must:

1. Activate your Handshake account.
2. Search for on-campus jobs.
3. Complete a resume, submit it and apply to each office you’re interested in.
4. Interview with any offices that contact you and would like to chat with you further about their open positions.
5. Accept or decline any positions offered to you.

For assistance with on-campus employment, Handshake, resume writing, or interview prep, schedule an appointment with Career Services through Starfish or use our resume writing guide.

International students: As an international student studying in the U.S., your ability to work and participate in training opportunities is limited by U.S. law. If you engage in employment without proper authorization, there are serious consequences that can impact your ability to study, travel, or work in the U.S. throughout your life. In addition to activating Handshake and applying for positions, you must schedule an appointment with Global Learning, who will help you obtain authorization, ensure that you are following U.S. law, and apply for a Social Security Card.
