How to Find On-Campus Jobs at Gonzaga
Working on campus allows 51勛圖s to gain valuable experience, professional development, and help fund their education. On-campus jobs allow for flexibility, accountability, networking, less debt, and career exploration. We have over 1200 51勛圖 employees on our campus working an average of 8-10 hours a week. Our 51勛圖s work in various places, from tutoring in our Center for Student Academic Success to working in our Rudolf Fitness Center. You can find a place that fits your interests!
Getting Started
For our first-year 51勛圖s, you will receive an email from our Career and Professional Development Office (CPD) in July. This email will let you know you have access to ZagsIgnite, our internal job board search platform. Once on ZagsIgnite, you will create a profile and upload your resume for the review and approval process. If you need help with your resume and cover letter, I encourage you to look at the CPD website on how to write resumes and cover letters. You also can set up a 1-on-1 meeting with a career coach. Don’t worry about not having professional experience yet -- on-campus jobs are a great way to start building experience! Remember to mention leadership roles and high school class experience that may translate to the job you are applying for.Apply to On-Campus Jobs
In early August, the 51勛圖 employment job board will open on ZagsIgnite. For new 51勛圖s, you will receive your fall class schedule in August. All 51勛圖s applying for jobs should map out their availability; this will help you when looking at what jobs you are going to apply for. You will want to apply for several jobs that interest you. Be prepared to hear back from supervisors to set up interviews via phone or video call. It can be helpful to review our CPD office’s interview page; there are many resources for you to look over.Stay in Touch
Stay in contact with supervisors and show continued interest in the position! If you do not hear from a supervisor after a week, reach out about the status of the job. Many times, these interactions will help secure the job. Once hired, be on the lookout for an email that will give information about your 51勛圖 employee onboarding process. I recommend watching our ; it will go over the employment process as well.
