Trying to find a job can be a major life decision. Enrolling in college can be a major life decision. And when you mix those two together, as a guy in this case, there are certain tips and techniques that you can follow in order to not end up in a situation that's either going to leave you poor, or too stressed out to handle the academic life.
Consider, if you're at a crossroads yourself, looking into online reference websites, looking for internships in your chosen educational spectrum, hitting up libraries and bookstores, talking to classmates, and having conversations with campus counselors.
Find Your Online Resources
The first step to finding a job in that college stage of life is going to be working your classic web search. With just a few college and job-related keywords, you'll find websites that have exhaustive lists of employment possibilities, and in fact, the hard part isn't finding them in the first place, it's going to be filtering through an immense amount of information to figure out what's the most applicable to your current situation.
Look For Internships
Internships are a great way to find jobs in college as well. Say that you're looking to be a psychology major. If you want you job to match up with your studies, simply look into what professional psychologists are in the area, and make some phone calls. You can study at the best psychology colleges in Pennsylvania, or wherever you are based, but without work experience, your knowledge will stop at the degree. It's important to find a balance of both interning and learning. For internship-type opportunities, the resume process isn't even going to be that involved, and will mostly be a case of your personality mixing with the people in the place you want to work.
Hit Up Libraries and Bookstores
For people who want to make sure that they have time to study, some of the best jobs are going to be at libraries and bookstores. You'll probably work hard when there are lots of things to do, but in your downtime, that gives you plenty of time to, at the very least, read your required material without looking out of place.
Talk To Your Classmates
In college, your classmates are going to be a great resource when it comes to the job hunt as well, because they're all in it with you! If you have a group of friends, once one of them gets hired into something, as long as you show that you're responsible, you have an automatic reference.
Have a Conversation With Campus Counselors
And finally, there are a million scholastic councilors as part of the college experience, and most of them have access to job information as well. Develop a relationship with these counselors, and you'll have first shot at the best opportunities that land in front of them.
