Some jobs pay too little for too much commitment, require a long-distance commute, or clash with the student\u2019s class schedule. Fortunately, Hunter College provides a variety of student jobs that accommodate a rigorous academic lifestyle while allowing students to make some money on the side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first place to refer to for job search help is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.cuny.edu\/students\/career-center\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Career Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in the East Building in room 805. The Center hosts helpful workshops every week of the semester. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students can use these networking possibilities by getting acquainted with the Career Center and their services. They also provide personalized help with cover letters or resume writing.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cWe also post department job postings on our website, Handshake,\u201d said Arterio Rodrigues, an IT specialist at the Career Center. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.cuny.edu\/students\/career-center\/students\/find-a-job-or-internship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Handshake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is an online platform where employers can recruit college students. Rodrigues also says different departments throughout Hunter tell the career center when openings are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes, certain positions do not get posted at all and rely on personal recommendations as a hiring strategy. However, a few places at Hunter look to hire students every semester with accommodating work schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6966\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 310px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6966\" src=\"https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-310x233.jpg 310w, https:\/\/brie.hunter.cuny.edu\/hunterathenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3396-60x45.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Career Services office in room 805 of the East Building.
