You can find a part-time job while attending university by checking your school’s career center or job board—campus jobs are usually flexible with your class schedule. Look for positions in the library, student services, tutoring, or dining halls. You can also search nearby businesses, online job sites, or ask professors and classmates for leads. Make sure to choose a job that fits your availability and won’t interfere with your studies.

Hello!
A few things to consider and explore while hunting for a part-time gig:
First, and most importantly, take a good look at your class schedule, social commitments, and personal needs to see what time you actually have to devote to a PT job. Be as specific as possible so you're not over-committing yourself. Remember that you want to enjoy what college life has to offer, and social events pop up every day. Itemize your schedule to really understand what free time you actually have.
As many stated already, most universities offer part-time employment and details can be found on job boards; or step into their career services department to see if there's any openings.
If you're honing in on tutoring services, you can reach out to local schools (K-12) to see if various students need specific tutoring. Or perhaps they're trying to pass a placement exam or another big test.
In addition, if you prefer engaging in an online capacity, tools like Superprof host tons of tutoring jobs that allow you to advertise your tutoring services. Good be worth checking them out.
Good luck!

2. Explore local businesses around campus for part-time work that suits your interests.
3. Depending on what you're good at, there are online job boards with project-based opportunities. You could work on tasks like creating presentations or testing code if you're into computer science. Check out sites like Fiverr.com.

Consider applying at your university's school store, the mall, coffee shops, or small restaurants that offer part-time positions. Visit local businesses near your college and ask if they have any part-time job openings.

Hi Rebecca. You can look for jobs on campus. Many universities offer job listings or career fairs that are designed for students. These jobs are usually flexible and can work around your class schedule. Check with your university's career services, student unions, or academic departments for available positions. Some on-campus jobs include working in the library, helping professors with research, or tutoring other students in subjects like math. These types of jobs let you build connections with other students and professors while earning money.
Since you are good at math, tutoring could be a great option for you. Many students struggle with math and need help outside of class. You could work as a tutor, either on campus or privately, to help others improve their math skills. Some universities have tutoring centers where you can apply, or you could offer your tutoring services through local online platforms.
If you're open to working outside of campus, jobs in retail or customer service could be a good option. Many stores, cafes, and local businesses offer part-time work in the evenings or on weekends, which can fit around your university schedule. Although these jobs might not involve math, they will still help you develop important skills like communication, problem-solving, and customer service.

Starting with an on-campus job can be a great choice for students. These jobs offer flexible hours and supportive supervisors. You can find openings by checking your university's student employment website, financial aid office, or career center. Look for positions in areas like the library, advising, admissions, tutoring, or campus events.
If you're interested in off-campus work, nearby businesses often hire students for retail, hospitality, or service jobs with flexible hours. Use online job boards, neighborhood apps, and campus job fairs to make your search easier. You can also seek roles that enhance your résumé, such as internships, remote customer service positions, or jobs related to your major.
Remember to apply early, check your class schedule, and choose a job that complements your studies. This way, you can balance work and academics successfully.

Most universities have jobs on campus that you can work at. Talk to an advisor to figure out what areas are hiring. This is a great option because your boss understands you are a student and that is your main priority and the job is on campus, so you get to work where you are already going to school.
