How do I find a job?
Yale students can search for positions by logging into the Student Employment website, www.yalestudentjobs.org. Select Find a Job under the Student tab and use the search options to find both on and off-campus jobs. In the Student Control Panel, you will also see an option to "Manage Jobmail,” whereby you will receive a notification each time a new job matching your criteria is posted.
What types of off-campus jobs are listed with Student Employment?
As part of the Federal Work Study program, Yale contracts with local community service agencies which students with a Federal Work Study award can apply to. Students are paid by Yale and the jobs are listed on the Student Employment website.
Is there ever a shortage of positions on campus?
The majority of positions are posted at the beginning of the fall semester and the inventory decreases as the semester progresses. Positions are posted throughout the year with additional openings added in the spring semester. The demand for student employment has never exceeded the inventory of jobs available. The number of open positions at the university is listed on the student job search page.
How does summer employment work?
Because most students depart for the summer, departments often hire separately to staff offices during the summer. Employers begin posting jobs in late April or early May for the summer term. Students may work up to 40 hours per week during the summer.
Can I work at Yale after I graduate?
If you are continuing in the same position from the Spring into the summer term, you may remain a student employee for the summer. If you are beginning a new position during the summer, your department should hire you as a Temporary Employee. The department can work with their Human Resources Generalist for more information.
Can I still work at Yale while on a Leave of Absence or Withdrawal?
You can work as a student employee while on an approved leave of absence. You cannot work as a student employee if you are withdrawn. You can, however, be hired as a Temporary employee by a department. The department should work with their Human Resource Generalist.
