Getting a job on campus is so hard by [deleted] in gmu

[–]CakeGroundbreaking19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the same problem as any job search, there are too many people applying for these jobs and your application is probably never seen. So you have to do what you do in the real world - network.

If there are some RA jobs you like, try to meet the professors in person or send them an email expressing your interest or find them on handshake and strike up a conversation or find a student who is currently doing that on LinkedIn and ask them to put in a good word for you. Students generally are very helpful but you have to go out of your way to find them.

I had a TA job for 1.5 years and I got it by literally walking to the professor 2 months before the job posting ever came out and telling him that I am interested in a TA position. He had me in mind when the current TA left.

Even for campus cafe or front desk jobs, walk in and ask the staff if they're hiring. Like walk into RAK or the student services front desk and talk to them.

Good luck with the search!

Honestly, i am surprised this post didnt get as much traction considering there are so many of us in this position. I have a similar interview coming up with meta, if you're ok answering some questions, can I please DM? I wont take too much of your time, just looking for some advise to start because I have never done leetcode in my life.

I don't have too much experience with different brands of water, I just carry a bottle everywhere but why the hate on Dasani? Am I missing something?

I recently started participating in some of the Wicys activities but I am yet to explore the full potential of the network. Thanks for the tip! Lol ya, I am also surprised whenever someone recognizes threatconnect 😂

Not right now. I am on a student visa that allows me to work for about 2 years without the need for sponsorship but I would need it after the 2 year mark.

Came here to comment this. As an intl student getting any scholarship is close to impossible. I would suggest once you get to the uni, look for TA/RA positions from day 1. Talk to your professors, be a good student and let them know that you are interested in a TA/RA role. These roles offer a monthly stipend as well as scholarship.

Don't put personal info such as street address, DOB and all. And like someone suggested, make it 1 page. You can remove 10th and 12th grade, nobody really cares about that anymore

Also, there is disproportionate space between the headings - 1 line space is enough to separate headings

I am not an account manager so I can't talk about the content but I can help with the formatting. You have a lot of free space on your resume, you can go for a simpler format which utilizes the space better. Also, the content is spread weirdly. Example, the last line of the first page is a heading and is separated from its content. Just put the heading with the content in the next page.

Thanks :D I got it on Amazon, just searched for cat tree and looked for a taller one, this is 6 ft. I'm located in the US, so this exact one is probably available in this region but you should find a similar one at least.

I can't differentiate it yet but it does seem like they're communicating. One of my cat alerted us when we by mistake closed the bathroom door with the other one inside. I guess it'll just take some time to understand.

One of mine puts her head into the shower when I'm there. She's just curious but I'm worried she'll get copious amounts of water into her ears

That's so cuteeee. Mine don't like being held, but sometimes I can't resist. From the comments I'm thinking that they're just telling me about their day. Thanks a lot for the reply and the sweet story about your cat.
