Campus units seeking part-time student employees and students looking for jobs can now find each other on the web through a new centralized student job listing provided by the Office of Career Services.

Campus employers and students seeking part-time jobs have access to the centralized listing from any Internet-connected computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week, said Career Services director Luther Epting.

The listing will include both part-time on-campus jobs funded through wages accounts and part-time federal work-study positions.

"We hope that campus employers will take advantage of this service and post available positions prior to the start of the fall semester," Epting said. "Students will be able to check the job listings as soon as they return to campus or they can visit the Career Services web site from their home to see what's available."

Posting one or more jobs is quick and easy, Epting said.

First, register with Career Services by completing the simple online form at http://www.career.msstate.edu. An account will be activated and will be available for use on the next business day.

Once the account is active, departments may log in to CareerConnections and post jobs online, designating the positions as either "part-time on-campus" or "part-time federal work-study." Information about how and when students should apply for or inquire about the positions should be posted as well.

All part-time jobs will be posted automatically for 30 days unless the department designates a different period. When a job is filled, it should be removed from the listing by changing the expiration date.

Campus units may edit their job listings at any time, as often as needed. As an added convenience, previous job listings can be retrieved, reactivated and re-posted in subsequent semesters.

Assistance with using the centralized job listing system is available by contacting Career Services by e-mail at career@career.msstate.edu or by calling 325-3344.

Epting noted that users could encounter delays in using the system on July 23-25 during a scheduled upgrade of the Career Services web server.
