Finding a Job

The College employs students in various capacities campus-wide. Priority is given to students who are Federal Work Study (FWS) eligible. It is the policy of Dickinson College that all First Year students will work in Dining Services.

You are responsible for finding and applying for campus jobs.
A work-study award does not guarantee employment.

The Student Employment Office advertises campus employment jobs online in DickinsonConnect. This system is available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You must complete a user profile in DickinsonConnect before being able to search for jobs. Once your profile is complete, and you are granted access to the DickinsonConnect system, you will be able to search and view student employment opportunities.

All positions have detailed job descriptions and application instructions. While we have numerous
on-campus employment opportunities, jobs are competitive, and you will have to demonstrate to the supervisor that you are the best candidate for the job. All jobs at Dickinson provide skills and opportunities for you.
